Hi Morpheus,
First let me thank you for the awesome resources that you have provided, your tutorials are really good.
I have just configured my winids to receive it rule updates using pulled pork as described in your tutorial. I followed all the steps and passed all the tests, however when I restarted the computer the barnyard window is stuck waiting for new data, when I run snort itself I get the following messages
WARNING: No preprocessors configured for policy 0.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
