:: Then I rebuilt ACID's cache and forced an alert - still get "(34)Unknown Sig :: Name". :: :: Does the sid have to be defined somewhere else?
From src/output-plugins/spo_database.c line 904:
/* If this signature is detected for the first time * - write the signature * - write the signature's references, classification, priority, id, * revision number * Note: if a signature (identified with a unique text message, revision #) * initially is logged to the DB without references/classification, * but later they are added, this information will _not_ be * stored/updated unless the revision number is changed. * This algorithm is used in order to prevent many DB SELECTs to * verify their presence _every_ time the alert is triggered. */ I believe since your first signature didn't have a revision, snort left it null in the DB. I tried to figure out how it handled that situation in the code, but I couldn't. Try incrementing rev to 2 and forcing another alert. I bet that will fix it.
