Re: Local Rule Error

["Jones, Christopher (Chris) (Maj)" <cajones1 () nps edu>]

Thanks for the reply.  I added the two extra zeros as you suggested and am still getting the error.  I'm using the 
community rules and don't have any other local rules.  I've attached a screenshot so you can see the error.  There must 
be something else in the rule that is confusing snort.

what other rules do you have installed and configured? it appears, based on what you've written, that you have other 
rules installed and configured for use...

try adding a few more zeros to your local base SID range... i use 100000000 to start my local rules specifically to get 
their SIDs up and away from the others currently available by distribution...

yours: 5000001
mine : 100000000
