Description

When distributing a set of binary,configuration files and rules, it is convenient to have a way to test the setup before one actually restarts the sensor.
Something similar to snorts: snort -Tc snort.conf

The way it works today is that you do a restart->setup_fails->rollback...

I added 2 minor comments to the commits. First time I did that so I'm not sure how you get notified, which is why I notify you here :)

Btw, something appears to be wrong. If I do "suricata -c suricata.yaml -T" I just get the "usage" output.

Victor, your last observation was correct. The local variable conf_test had to be added to the list of special cases where runmode is allowed to be unset.
