Thanks for a quick reply Joel,
In the conf file there are apparently only three levels (low, medium and
high) of sensitivity that you can set for sfportscan preprocessor which I
believe have their thresholds set internally. I understand that the local
and global thresholds can be configured using threshold directives at rule
level or globally but that does not seem to effect the preprocessor
settings. I am actually simulating some scanning activity which is being
detected by the portscan preprocessor, but I want snort to alert more often
than it is doing with the high sensitivity.
What am I missing and sorry for my ignorance :(.

Take a look at the snort.conf file in the etc/ directory. All your
config options are in there. The README is in doc/

Hi all,
Do I need to change the threshold settings of portscan preprocessor in
src/preprocessors/portscan.c or is there a softer way of changing the
thresholds for the alerts generated by this preprocessor??
Do I need to uninstall Snort first when I modify the .c file and then
recompile? I earlier installed Snort using the package manager, I guess
after doing this change I will just need to follow the standard sequence of
make
make clean
./configure
make
make install
Am I right or missing some step? Sorry if its a very basic question -
just didn't want to stuff up my existing setup.
