      Hi all,

      I am using pfsense 1.2.3 and snort. I am trying to get rid of a few settings on the snort config however the web GUI is doesn't delete the settings. I uninstalled the snort pkg and rebooted. After the reboot I installed the snort package again and the old settings came back. I tried to delete a white list entry but it did not do it. How do I purge all existing config for a package so it come back with clean setup on reinstall.

      I also have a carp slave which has snort and is able to delete entries etc. I get these errors on the primary snort before and after the pkg reinstall.

        There's a checkbox in Snort's global settings to retain the settings on uninstall/reinstall.
