[ossec-list] What is the best way to preserve the excluded rules in ossec.conf

["Peter M. Abraham" <peter.m.abraham@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings:

This morning I upgraded our ossec server (we use the client/agent
server approach) from 1.2 to 1.3.

Since we are still in the testing phase of ossec, and I was not sure
what rules were updated, I did answer "yes" to upgrade, but also "yes"
to install new rules.

I found that while most of /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf was preserved,
the rules I had previously commented out where now uncommented.

Is there a "best practice" way of excluding rules from being processed
that can be preserved across updates?  If so, how?

Thank you.
