If you have a restart script that restarts the sensor after it uploads the new files you could add a line to it that moves the snort.conf file to where you want it.  I agree that there should be better options in IDSPM for it....but until then, try to do it in the restart script.  Hope that helps!

I guess the issue is that if you don't want to keep your snort.conf file in the same directory that all the rules files are in, there doesn't seem to be a direct way to do that in IDSPM.  For instance: 

/etc/snort/snort.conf

/etc/snort/rules/<all rules files>

If there is a way to do it in IDSPM, can you show us?  Maybe I'm overlooking something.

Thanks,

Craig
