Re: How rules fire question.

["AT&T.Net" <coppage () att net>]

Thank Joe,
     In looking how this box was set up, pulled pork is being used on a central server but one of the scripts being 
used to push the rules and that file to all the sensors was pulling from the wrong location and therefore the correct 
Sid file was not being pushed. 

Thanks,
Mike
