Re: Event Suppression between specific Source and Destination

[Guido Hungerbuehler <guh () open ch>]

I only agree on parts. Because if you would like to create a pass rule 
for one specific rule and the two affected hosts, this would mean that I 
basically have to copy the rule that triggers the event and replace 
'alert' with 'pass' and adjust the source and destination.

But if the signature gets a new revision, the pass-rule does not get 
updated. And I would have to check for changes in the rules manually.

It would be a lot more intuitive to have a reference on a signature and 
just deactivate alerting by using src, dst and sid.
