Snort version vs Snort rules version

[NA <dustypath () comcast net>]

Hello all,

It may be obvious to many that the Snort ruleset version should match 
the Snort installed version but I found myself in a different situation.

Concentrating on installing the latest Snort with all the other 
accompanying programs was my first priority. Then moving on to 
configuring and using Snort I found that the latest rules were 
subscriber only and choose to install the registered version ruleset.

So this begs the question, is it a bad idea to use the latest Snort 
version with the registered ruleset? Is there some rule of thumb to go 
by to avoid problems?

Thanks
