Re: Linktype 113 not decoded

Looks like you're using cooked sockets (Linux SLL) to acquire the data and Barnyard doesn't know how to process them. You'd have to add a layer 2 decoder for linux SLL traffic before Barnyard will recognize those packets.

I'm running into an issue I hope someone can help with.

Environment:
Snort-2.3.0
Barnyard-0.2.0
Libpcap-0.7.2-7.E3.2
RedHat ES 3 update 3 SMP (2.4.21-20.Elsmp)

The system is running 2 GigE fibre cards that are spanning 2 routers
with no ip address and snort starts with -i any.  The problem is the
alerts have no ip/udp header information. Looking at barnyards dump.log
I'm getting "Linktype 113 not decoded.  Raw packet dumped" instead of
the packet header.  If I run tcpdump or ethereal on any of the
interfaces, I am able to get all header info.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bill
