Re: Suppress alerts

[Peter Rodger <prodger2008 () yahoo com>]

Joel,

Thanks for the info and help.  The threshold.conf file
is in /snort/etc directory following the instruction
in snort.conf file. (the file in the /etc and /rules
folder) Even I change threshold.conf in the \rules
directory, the result is still same.

Please see the attached snort.conf and threshold.conf
files in the \snort\etc folder.

I did change threshold.conf in both /etc and /rules
folders and include d:\win-ds\snort\etc\threshold.conf
in the snort.conf file.
Still can not surppess these alerts?

Let me know what's wrong with my config?  I can not
fighure out why?  

Thanks again,

Peter
