duplicate rules

[Jeremy Hoel]

When using registered VRT rules AND the community ruleset (which gets
updated more often from what's been put out), you end up with
duplicate rules.

ie:
WARNING: /etc/snort/rules/snort.rules(20104) GID 1 SID 560 in rule
duplicates previous rule. Ignoring old rule.

WARNING: /etc/snort/rules/snort.rules(20561) GID 1 SID 21255 in rule
duplicates previous rule. Ignoring old rule.

WARNING: /etc/snort/rules/snort.rules(20562) GID 1 SID 21256 in rule
duplicates previous rule. Ignoring old rule


So, does PP have a method in place in order to choose one rule over the other?

Can you set a preferred priority for the rule packs in this case?

Or is there something in snort that chooses the newer rule?

Or am I missing something else?

Thanks..
