Re: disabling specific snort rules

[JJC <cummingsj () gmail com>]

To add to what James is saying... factor in the details of the SID that is
firing... do you have _ANYTHING_ in your environment that could be targeted
for the type of attack that said SID is detecting.  If the answer is no,
then disable the rule and move on.
