That's the way pfSense works. Nearly all config files of any services are generated dynamically from the config.xml. Your config will be overwritten whenever it is needed due to things like IP-change, on reboot, chaged settings at webgui,...

I have added 'ignore_scanners' for $HOME_NET to prevent my whitelist from being blocked as 'talking port scanners' I have also removed a seemingly problematic comma at the end of $HOME_NET ip range. 10.x.x.x,]) Periodically I find that my changes have been overwritten by some automated process. I have attempted to chmod 444 snort.conf to prevent the overwriting - but it did not prevent it from being ovewritten. Any ideas? - Darren --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
