No, there is no need for a special rule -- the nature of the input 
source does not influence the rule type in any way.

A quick question -- have you specified
-input=/usr/local/etc/SEC_Log_Pipe
as a SEC command line option? If yes, send the USR1 signal to SEC which 
creates the /tmp/sec.dump file. This file also contains the list of 
known input sources and their status (open or closed, and the number of 
observed lines). Does these data indicate that SEC is seeing the strings 
you are writing to pipe?

kind regards,
