I run polman on my sguil-server. I generate all the rulesets for the
sensors there, and scp them to the sensors. On the sguil-server,
I aslo have snort installed, so I can check if "snort -Tc" work before
sending (scp) at least the snort rules off to the sensor (suricata has not
such a function yet). Then I ssh %cmd to restart the sensor.

Other than I wrote it for my use, and have used it without any big
features missing for me since I wrote it, I have not updated it.
So it has worked for me 3-4 months now.
Any suggestions/bugs/features are very welcome!

I have stuff on my todo list, but not got around to implement them yet.
