How do you "hardcode" a script? You can't replace the hostnames with
XXXXXXXX?

We use a "trusted host" that uses PKI to authenticate and SSH out to
each of the SNORT sensors to push new rules out. It's scripted and when
we push new rules, we kick off the script. It goes out, writes the new
rules to each sensor and then restarts SNORT. It's fairly simple to
write. I'd attach it, but our hostnames are hard coded in.

On a similar note, how do you update automatically?

Lyndon,

I documented a sample Oinkmaster session in my Blog:

Keith's recommendation for Oinkmaster is the way to go.

Sincerely,

Richard
