Hello all,

I recently packaged PF_RING 5.5.3 for my Security Onion distro:
http://securityonion.blogspot.com/2013/05/pfring-553-packages-now-available.html

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'm seeing some behavior I don't
remember seeing in 5.5.2 or previous versions of PF_RING.

Here are my testing parameters:
- starting off with a good test, if I run just one instance of snort,
I get an alert from rule 2100498 for EACH time I run "curl
testmyids.com"
- if I increase to two instances of snort with the same cluster-id, I
get NO alerts when running "curl testmyids.com"
- if I set the daq clustermode to 2, I get NO alerts when running
"curl testmyids.com".  (Does clustermode default to 2 if not
specified?)
- if I set the daq clustermode to 4, I get an alert for EVERY OTHER
"curl testmyids.com" (if I do 10 curl's, I only get 5 alerts).

Here are the PF_RING entries in my snort.conf including the
clustermode variable that I'm testing:
config daq: pfring
config daq_dir: /opt/pfring/lib/daq
config daq_var: clusterid=51
#config daq_var: clustermode=4

Here are my snort command lines:

snort -c /etc/nsm/HOSTNAME-eth1/snort.conf -u sguil -g sguil -i eth1
-F /etc/nsm/HOSTNAME-eth1/bpf-ids.conf -l
/nsm/sensor_data/HOSTNAME-eth1/snort-1 --perfmon-file
/nsm/sensor_data/HOSTNAME-eth1/snort-1.stats -U -m 112

snort -c /etc/nsm/HOSTNAME-eth1/snort.conf -u sguil -g sguil -i eth1
-F /etc/nsm/HOSTNAME-eth1/bpf-ids.conf -l
/nsm/sensor_data/HOSTNAME-eth1/snort-2 --perfmon-file
/nsm/sensor_data/HOSTNAME-eth1/snort-2.stats -U -m 112

Have I missed something?  Has anybody else experienced this?  What can
I do to troubleshoot this?

Thanks!
