Re: Barnyard2 - v2-1.10 is released

[AllowOverride <allowoverride () gmail com>]

the pulledpork like /usr/local. snort likes /etc/snort, barnyard2
likes /usr/local/etc

i am aware of paths and such, i am stating simply, why not have them all

barnyard, pulledpork, snort, yadda, done. simple.

put it ALL in /etc or put it ALL in /usr/local

done with this topic
