Thats correct, there was no code, which called the downloader in such a case. I've added it now to the "convert-snort" script, so in future if a snort config has got imported and no ruleset is present it automatically will be downloaded. > Since I had two rule sources in guardian I wondered how that would be > handled here were one set is all that's possible.
