er......I'd get in the source code and muck around.

But honestly, this is silly.  Don't do this.

Hi,
I had already update my snort from 2.6.1 to 2.8.5.2, my old snort is used in
a web project, and in this project, the user's rules is generated
automatically. In these rules, there are some rules with the same sid, for
example :

    alert TCP 192.168.123.110 any -> 192.168.123.113 1111 (msg:"tcp";
content:"tcp";sid:1000001;)
    alert UDP 192.168.123.110 any -> 192.168.123.113 1234 (msg:"udp";
content:"udp";sid:1000001;)
these rules cause errors in the new version 2.8.5.2 when start the snort but
not in the old version 2.6.1. Of cause I know that  I should make the rules
generate different sid (1000001, 1000002 ...), but now for some reasons
difficult to do this, I want to know if there are some way to make "the same
sid in rules" also work, and not cause errors in the version
2.8.5.2,  please help me to fix this problem if there is someway to do this.
Tkank you very much.
