Paul,
This goes for the config options for Snort too.  I notice a lot of people
try and stack them all on the command line as well.

Sorry for the delay replying.

1) grep -v '^#' barnyard.conf | grep -v ^$

config daemon
config localtime
config hostname: mail-op-snort
config interface: eth0
config filter: not port 22
output alert_acid_db: mysql, sensor_id 1, database snort, server
localhost, user snort, password xxxxxxxx
output log_acid_db: mysql, database snort, server localhost, user snort,
password xxxxxxxx, detail full

2) Command line used to start barnyard

/usr/local/bin/barnyard -c /etc/snort/barnyard.conf -g
/etc/snort/gen-msg.map -s /etc/snort/sid-msg.map -d /var/log/snort -f
snort.log -w /var/log/snort/barnyard.waldo -D

Sorry to interrupt, but I'm going to keep posting this in the hope that
more will see it.

If you read the source for barnyard, you can include the following in your
barnyard.conf file and eliminate them from the command line used to start
barnyard:

config class-file: /etc/snort/classification.config
config sid-msg-map: /etc/snort/sid-msg.map
config gen-msg-map: /etc/snort/gen-msg.map

In your case that would shorten the startup line as follows:

/usr/local/bin/barnyard -c /etc/snort/barnyard.conf -d /var/log/snort -f
snort.log -w /var/log/snort/barnyard.waldo -D

Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already
obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
