Are so rules needed?

[Robert Millott <robm () millottandassociates com>]

I'm running Snort/Barnyard on Gentoo. I am trying to configure PullePork to
handle my rule management.  From what I can determine, there are no
so_rules precompiled for Gentoo.  I am not sure if I can get one of the
other distros to work for it, but my question is, what am I missing if I
don't have the so rules?

Are the shared Object rules required and if I don't run them, am I missing
any major functionality?

Thanx for the help
