RE: Snort rules touble.

I added necassary variables to use the latest rules to my snort.conf,
merging any necassary differences.
I'm up to speed now and all is running.

Now I need to simulate some probes/attacks to make sure it's actually
working.

Thanks to all,

Jason

Yes, it's also why snortrules.tar.gz contains a snort.conf,  
so that you 
can look at it for new things you need to include :)

I'd first get things up and running using the supplied rules.

If you then want to try using snortrules.tar.gz, try it, but 
be aware of 
the pitfalls involved in assuming you can just use new .rules 
files with an 
older.conf file ;)

I understand now.

The rules supplied separately have variables supplied for the ports.
The rules supplied with the distribution have them staticly entered.

Thanks a lot!

Just like Matt Kettler said,  and pretty sure he is right.  
You need to
stick with the rules that come with the 1.86 build and NOT use the
snortrules.tar.gz
