Preprocessor Question.

["David A." <ti1ion2005 () gmail com>]

Hello everyone,

I am currently using Snort version 2.9.6.0 successfully with a very simple,
custom snort.conf file that defines a few variables, allows some traffic to
be ignored and then forwards everything else to a syslog server.

Recently, I have set up a second machine -- in this case a Raspberry Pi --
with Snort 2.9.7.0-3 and intend to use it the same way as the previous
system.  However, it seems that the new version of Snort has introduced
functionality that adds a "WARNING: No preprocessors configured for policy
0" to everything Snort processes.  I am not using preprocessors and don't
have anything defined in my snort.conf.  I am not using decoders and don't
have them defined, either.  I tried the "autoconfigure" command in my
snort.conf, but that did not do anything.  As a result, my logs are filling
up with this warning message and I have not been able to find a way of
stopping it.

I have Googled this issue and the answer always comes back to reading the
Snort manual (I have read the portions linked) and defining preprocessors.
I don't have any preprocessors and don't wish to have any.  Is there
something I can do to stop Snort from issuing this warning?

Thank you for your help.
