Title: Snort 2.9.7.0 pkg v3.2 Update

Snort 2.9.7.0 pkg v3.2
=================
This update upgrades the underlying Snort binary to version 2.9.7.0, fixes two bugs and adds two new features to the Snort package.

New Features
-------------------
1. Add support for new OpenAppID preprocessor. This allows Snort to detect over 2400 applications and alert on their traffic.

2. Add new option on GLOBAL SETTINGS tab to toggle verbose Snort start-up logging. The new setting defaults to "off". When enabled, Snort will output detailed information on its startup progress to the firewall system log.

Bug Fixes
-------------
1. Cron task for cleaning up old perfmon stats logs misses some files and never deletes them.

2. The snort.sh script used to auto-start Snort and/or Barnyard2 on reboot loads binaries from **/usr/local/bin** instead of using the PBI wrappers in **/usr/pbi/snort_{arch}/bin**.
