var EXCLUDED_HOSTS [192.168.1.10/32,192.168.1.40/32,192.168.1.50/32]

log tcp $EXCLUDED_HOSTS any -> 192.168.5.1 any (msg: "connection
attempted"; flags:S;)

This one will alert on all connection attempts from any address that is
not $EXCLUDED_HOSTS.  Unfortunately, this includes addresses outside the
192.168.1.0/24 range as well.  I couldn't think of a way to specify
192.168.1.0/24 minus $EXCLUDED_HOSTS.  Maybe someone else can chime in.

alert tcp !$EXCLUDED_HOSTS any -> 192.168.5.1 any (msg: "connection
attempted"; flags:S;)

Specify that you only wish to look for SYN packets, which indicate the
beginning of a TCP connection:

 alert tcp HOST-B any -> HOST-A any (msg: "connection attempted";
flags:S;)

Hope this helps,
