Snort: DynamicPlugin: Rule…rule will not be used.

pfSense: 2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64) Snort: 2.9.1 pkg v. 2.0.2

I get these messages when snort starts[for example]:

Jan 3 00:00:00 snort[45448]: DynamicPlugin: Rule [3:19187] not enabled in configuration, rule will not be used.
Jan 3 00:00:00 snort[45448]: DynamicPlugin: Rule [3:19187] not enabled in configuration, rule will not be used.
Jan 3 00:00:00 snort[45448]: DynamicPlugin: Rule [3:8351] not enabled in configuration, rule will not be used.
Jan 3 00:00:00 snort[45448]: DynamicPlugin: Rule [3:8351] not enabled in configuration, rule will not be used.

I get much more than that, in the ~100s. What do these mean and how can I fix this? I searched around but did not find anything useful.

EDIT: Is snort just telling me, the rules that are not enabled are not going to be used?

This is snort starting up and telling you what it loading and not loading. By default a lot of rules are disabled, so you will get a lot of these.

Thanks, I kinda figured this after posting my question. But good to have conformation :)
