Matt -- I believe I found the problem: I did a check of the policy-based rules file located in the rules folder. I had a hunch the file was really a symbolic link. As it turned out, it was a symbolic link pointing to an obsolescent file. I recreated the link to the 'real' policy-based rules file and after that the amount of alerts dramatically dropped off. Thanks for yours and everyone's help. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Kettler [mailto:mkettler () evi-inc com] Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 3:37 PM To: Kaplan, Andrew H.; Snort User Group (E-mail) Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Problem with the -o option At 10:50 AM 11/5/2004, Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote:
2. The pass rules all have the <> operand between every instance of the source and destination. Is there anything else I need to do within the file?
Can you post an example of what your pass rules look like? they should be of the format: pass ip host1/32 any <> host2/32 any or pass ip net1/cidrmask1 any <> net2/cidrmask2 any (of course, you can make the pass rule more restrictive, by specifying source/dest ports and a protocol other than IP (ie: tcp)) pass host1 <> host2 isn't valid, as far as I know. The last example sounds like what you're trying to describe, but I'm not sure exactly what your pass rules look like based on your vague description. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
