Description Greg Watson (linuxkrn) 2005-06-07 11:01:14 UTC 
There are a lot of "stock rules" to snort and it makes the /etc/snort directory cluttered.  Please consider moving the rules to a subdirectory /etc/snort/rules.

This will leave only the config and example files in /etc/snort.  It would also allow users to make a subdir for their own rules and CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK for the stock snort rules to get automatically updated as they change with the distrubtion.

In cvs, in snort-2.3.3-r1.
Thanks for reporting!
