[Snort-users] snort 2.3.3 --enable-flexresp

hi all

i tried the experimental feature '--enable-flexresp' for
compiling snort 2.3.3 on solaris 9 ( both sparc and intel plattform )

the first tests did run well, the following rule did
disconnect an incomming connection immediate:

alert tcp any any <> $HOME_NET 25 (msg:"HELLOon25"; resp:rst_all; )

the next step was to modify this rule sligthly. the disconnect should
only appear, if the word "hello" was seen, with this rule:

alert tcp any any <> $HOME_NET 25 (msg:"HELLOon25"; content:"hello"; resp:rst_all; )

i telnet to port 25, key in "hello" ( knowing it's not a smtp-dialog )
and nothing happens. i get a logentry, so the rule is involved
if the word "hello" is seen, but no disconnect.

i searched a lot of time around the internet, but could find
any advice, what the problem could be.

every advice would be helpfully.

just disconnecting any incomming connection could be the idea, a
tcpwrapper could this job too.


best regards
hans
