yeah, i think it was before i joined the SF lists so you're off the hook :P i guess what i'm really trying to dig out is the answers to the following questions... 1. are rules released daily or are they held and released in batches once a week or month? 2. can you list possible reasons why an initial update connection may be 403'd and the 15 minute delay initiated? 3. is it possible that even after waiting out the 15 minute delay that one might be 403'd again? 4. will we see the return of the reason for the 403 and the try again in X minutes in the 403 messages or will they remain plain jane 403's with no information that can be passed back to the user via message or logs? the answers could greatly help with eliminating unnecessary updating schedules and traffic... thanks for your time and attention in this! ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ 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
