[Snort-users] Putting -o in config file?

[Hari Sekhon <hpsekhon@googlemail.com>]

I wanted to exclude a couple of machine from alerts so I created the 
rules in local.rules using pass statements. This works if snort is 
started with the -o switch.

The thing is, I'm keeping a central configuration and I can't easily go 
round to all the machines and guarantee that snort will be run with the 
-o flag. Really I need to be able to do this inside the config which I 
deploy.

Is it possible to get the same effect inside the configs without doing 
some sledgehammer thing like disabling those checks? Basically can I put 
-o inside the snort.conf or something?

-h
