I am running snort v2.3.3.  I would like to change the priority of a few
certain rules (without affecting the default classification.config
priority).  I thought I could achieve this by copying the rule from its rule
file into local.rules.  In local.rules, I added the priority classification.
 Here's an example:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 445 (msg:"NETBIOS SMB-DS IPC$
unicode share access"; flow:established,to_server; content:"|00|"; depth:1;
content:"|FF|SMBu"; within:5; distance:3; byte_test:1,&,128,6,relative;
pcre:"/^.{27}/R"; byte_jump:2,7,little,relative; content:"I|00|P|00|C|00 24
00 00 00|"; distance:2; nocase; flowbits:set,smb.tree.connect.ipc;
classtype:protocol-command-decode; priority:2; sid:2466;
rev:7;)

The problem is that this rule doesn't trigger.  If I modify the rule to not
include the sid and rev, it will trigger:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 445 (msg:"NETBIOS SMB-DS IPC$
unicode share access"; flow:established,to_server; content:"|00|"; depth:1;
content:"|FF|SMBu"; within:5; distance:3; byte_test:1,&,128,6,relative;
pcre:"/^.{27}/R"; byte_jump:2,7,little,relative; content:"I|00|P|00|C|00 24
00 00 00|"; distance:2; nocase; flowbits:set,smb.tree.connect.ipc;
classtype:protocol-command-decode; priority:2;)

However, I would like to keep the sid information.  Is that possible?  Or is
there a better way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Christina
