bro alerts over email

1) I am unable to redefine variables sensitive_URIs
(policy/http-request.bro) and hot_files (policy/ftp.bro) in my site
policy file.

These are declared inside module scope, so you need <module>::<variable>
to access them. For example:

  redef HTTP::sensitive_URIs += /rootdown.pl/;

2B) local action = notice_action_filters[n$note](n)

gives the following error in info.log file and bro stops :

Oops, a bug. Patch appended.

in my site-policy file for getting email/page alert. If I understand it
correctly, I have to first put rootdown.pl (etc) in Sensitive_URI list
to get bro generate an alert and then declare that particular alert
using the above $pred config in my site policy file. Right ?

Since this could lead to lot of $pred declearations, Is it possible to
have a formation like following for similar category of alerts :

/usr/local/bro/site/hail.ncsa.uiuc.edu.bro, line 157
(/^?(^.*rootdown.pl.*\)?/ || /^?(^.*lads.exe.*\)?/): error, requires
boolean operands

One of the changes already in place for the next release is use of "||"
and "&&" for combining patterns, for exactly this sort of reason.
