man, please do *not* send snippets of full-packet captures of any site
other than your own private network to a public mailing list! I don't
need to know how you're using these traces but I'm sure the folks from
vetmed.vt.edu don't want to see their traffic dissected in public on the
Internet.

Note: you normally do not need to include bro.init separately on the
command line as that's always included (see main.cc).

I'm not sure what you're feeding into Bro, but that's not that many
SYNs. I suggest you dig through the scan.bro policy and try to
understand why it decides that it is not a scan -- you'll also *need* to
understand if you want to use the scan analyzer realiable.

Regards,
Christian.
