Interesting observation with with so rules

[James Lay <jlay () slave-tothe-box net>]

So here's what I got...a minimal config just for use with pulledpork:

var CONF_PATH /opt/etc/snort
var RULE_PATH /opt/etc/snort/rules
var LIB_PATH /usr/local/lib
var SORULE_PATH /opt/etc/snort/so_rules
var PREPROC_RULE_PATH $RULE_PATH/preproc_rules
var WHITE_LIST_PATH $RULE_PATH/iplists
var BLACK_LIST_PATH $RULE_PATH/iplists

dynamicpreprocessor directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor
dynamicengine /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so
dynamicdetection directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules

include /opt/etc/snort/classification.config
include /opt/etc/snort/reference.config

include $SORULE_PATH/bad-traffic.rules


If I leave the bad-traffic.rules line and try to dump the stubs, here's 
what I get:

/opt/bin/snort -c /opt/etc/snort/sid-msgmap.conf 
--dump-dynamic-rules=/opt/etc/snort/so_rules/
Running in Rule Dump mode

         --== Initializing Snort ==--

ERROR: /opt/etc/snort//opt/etc/snort/so_rules/bad-traffic.rules(0) 
Unable to open rules file 
"/opt/etc/snort//opt/etc/snort/so_rules/bad-traffic.rules": No such file 
or directory.

Fatal Error, Quitting..

If I comment it out, everything works....is there something I'm totally 
missing?  Thanks for the assist all...setting up a new machine and this 
has me stumped.
