I am running rh7.3 linux, snort 1.8.7, acid0.9.6, and I am getting a lot
of shellcode alerts.  All of them are from legit http traffic from http
servers.  I thought that the "!" was the not operator.  The shelcode
variable is set to "!80" just the way it comes in the default settings.

I hope someone can tell me what is wrong or at least point me in the
right direction.

You probably don't have your $EXTERNAL_NET set correctly.  The !80 is
on the destination port
