I like this modular approach very much (credits to you), but wouldn't it be 
much better and simpler to introduce a new "/etc/sysconfig/snort" file, 
stating what to fire up, when running "/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd start"?

I think this makes much more sense, or? ie, a new "/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd" 
and "/etc/sysconfig/snort" file.

Do I make sense here?
