Security Onion 20111001 now available!

Security Onion 20111001 is now available!  This simple update resolves two issues in /usr/local/bin/pulledpork_update.sh:

• Issue 127 requests that /usr/local/bin/pulledpork_update.sh determine whether it is running interactively or via crontab and perform accordingly.
• A comment on Issue 87 requests that the rule backups /etc/nsm/rules/backup/ be purged after a specified number of days.
• The default number of days is 30.
• This default can be overridden by setting the $DAYSTOKEEP_RULE_BACKUPS variable in /etc/nsm/securityonion.conf.
