Snort Config v 0.2.1

Just thought I'd announce that I've just released a (very) BETA tool called Snort Config. It's the early stages of my attempts to make a tool to ease the pain of new snort users who are having a rough go of editing snort.conf by hand and/or those who just like a handy menu selector over a text editor. It also makes attempts to sanity check the input, warn users about errors and/or potential errors, and has an online-help facility for quick "what's this about" info regarding the various options. This is the first public beta release, and I whipped out the code while typing full throttle, so you can expect some bugs. I can say that it works for me, and I haven't found anything major wrong with it bug-wise, but past experience has taught me that doesn't prove much. :) Not all of the ideas/ideals for this project have been implemented yet, but it has reached the stage where I'd call it useful (ie: the menu system is relatively easy to work with,, and when you get done selecting your options, it will write (what I hope) is a sane snort.conf file.). The 2 big things it's still missing are code to read an existing snort.conf file and use it to set the defaults (most of which I can probably borrow from snort, but haven't gotten around to yet), and runtime config options to let you tell it where to find your rules files, and that kind of thing. Also I want to code a lot more sanity checking of user input, and a ton of little things that I figure didn't absolutely have to be finished before the first public beta. Anyway, if such a tool sounds like fun to you, I'm in search of some beta testers, and you're more than welcome to give it a shot and tell me what you think of it, improvements/changes you'd like to see, ideas on new features, etc. Feedback is appreciated. So, if you're still game after all that's been said, point your browser of choice at http://www.xjack.org/snortconf/ and download your preferred distribution flavor (tar.gz, RPM, or SRPM), and READ THE README's, INSTALL, and such BEFORE you build/install and try it out. I am not currently subscribed to this list, so please direct replies to my personal e-mail address. Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is a bit off topic.
