RMC,

If you are using 'var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET', then short should pass on
everything defined in 'var HOME_NET blah' on that sensor.

Subject: [Snort-users] $HOME_NET question
I have snort 1.8.7. I have set my $HOME_NET to be
$eth0_ADDRESS and my external net set to !$HOME_NET.
However, I still get alerts from other computers on my
subnet! For example, the "SNMP public access udp" rule
says:
alert udp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 161...
For this example, assume my IP is 192.168.1.2. I'm
getting  alerts for a packet from 172.20.39.32 to
192.168.1.3. Why?   I'm totally confused. I thought
$HOME, if set to $eth0_ADDRESS would only give alerts
for things coming into my IP?!?! Am I wrong?
