Summary: Snort download out of space

Initial Comment:
When a new ruleset is downloaded for intrusion detection using snort, oinkmaster.pl gunzips the archive and then does "tar xf" (when external binaries are being used). This results in a fail as /tmp fills for my installation (which is fairly standard). As a result new rulesets cannot be downloaded.

A simple fix which does not untar the documentation but only the rules directory is included (as already happens when external binaries are not used).

Cheers,

Richard Reeve.
