Yes, there is an option to make Pulledpork only process locally.  I suggest a quick read of --help when you start 
pulledpork.

Thanks

Sorry for the trouble guys, the problem is resolved- I did not run PP after making changes to the disablesid file!!
But this throws up another problem- I run Snort on a system which receives a netflow (or is it IPFIX?) and hence is 
not connected to the internet. But whenver PP starts, it tries to connect to the internet to look for new rules. Any 
suggestions for a work-around for this? It is not vey neat to keep plugging the neighboring system's ethernet cable 
to connect to the internet and run PP for every single rule I wish to add to enablesid.conf/disablesid.conf etc. Cant 
I make PP just do these 'local tasks' and not let it check for new rules? :)

I enabled the 'security' policy via PP and have been getting these kinds of alerts by the dozen :

I put that sig id into my disablesid.conf, but i continue to get the alerts. What could be wrong here? What is the 
correct way of putting the sids- 16282, 1:16282, or 1:16282:3 ?
I also tried putting the category 'VRT-p2p' in disablesid.conf, but no avail :(
