Whitelist IP's?

[Jeff Meigs <jmeigs () sunwestecu com>]

Sorry If this is just a silly Question, but I'm still confused on this. Reading both of those doesn't help me. I can't 
even find the Reputation files  on the boxes I have Snort running.

I don't see it in /etc/snort or any of the subdirectories. I don't see it in the /netfilter either. Am I missing 
something here?

What do you mean BPF the IP?

Again Fairly new to snort so I apologize if the answer is easy but I'm not getting it.

that was my second option ;)

interesting to know... my testing in the past didn't reflect that but it was limited testing for a specific 
environment... thanks for the clarification! i hope the OP has a/the solution for their problem now ;)
