Hello,

Being somewhat new to OSSEC (about 8 months now), one feature I used a lot 
was the ability to silence a noisy rule. A typical example is 1002, which 
in some environments can be very noisy. The method I read about was to 
duplicate the rule in local_rules.xml but change the level to "0". This has 
worked fine with dozens of rules that were false positives in the past all 
the way thru v 2.7.  Now, however, with 2.7.1 I keep getting duplicate rule 
errors and ossec fails to start. Even if I add overwrite="yes" to the rule 
(which I did not have to do before just to change the level).

Am I missing something? Is there a new way to disable a false positive that 
I can't find?  I have tried all possible combinations, but my 2.7 config to 
2.7.1 simply fails on the duplicates. For now I have rolled back to 2.7 
until I can understand how this feature is meant to work and the purpose. I 
could not find much in the release notes on any configuration options for 
the dups.

Help?
