Re: Barnyard2 conf syntax for syslog

Doh, sorry both ip addresses are 172.16.8.196... I meant to change them both to 1.1.1.1, but there's no point to trying 
to hide those details now. :)

Really?  When I try that (with an ip address not a hostname), I get this message in the daemon.log:

Sep  4 14:18:22 bcfids02 barnyard2: WARNING => Unrecognized syslog facility/priority: 1.1.1.1

My output line in the barnyard2.conf file is:

output alert_syslog: 172.16.8.196 LOG_AUTH LOG_INFO

I even tried LOG_AUTH_LOG_INFO like in your email, which I think is a type, but it didn't work either (same message in 
the daemon.log).

Yes, I did mean colon, not semi-colon.  I tested that config on my sensor, and 
it worked fine.  IOW, "output alert_syslog: hostname.utdallas.edu 
LOG_AUTH_LOG_INFO" worked for me.  Note that there are no commas separating the 
values of the various attributes, just spaces.

I tested this on a working install of barnyard2 on amd64 FreeBSD 7.2.

That was just a typo in my email, I have the colon (you mean colon not
semi-colon right?) in the conf file.
