Subject: Introduce host-mode.
X-Git-Tag: suricata-2.0beta2~260
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6cf7da30e2321740c94e6c43aa7ecb1f92f71043;p=thirdparty%2Fsuricata.git

Introduce host-mode.

This variable can be used to indicate to suricata that the host
running is running as a router or is in sniffing only mode.
This will used at least to determine which interfaces are used to
send reject message.
