Hi all,

I am having problems with empty output log files. I am running Snort
2.9.2.2 on Ubuntu virtual machine by following the guide at the Snort page.
I have barnyard2 installed to send output to Mysql....unified2 output is
configured on snort.conf. I started snort with a command

sudo /usr/local/snort/bin/snort -u snort -g snort -c
/usr/local/snort/etc/snort.conf  -i eth0

I started barnyard2 with the command

sudo sudo /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c /usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard2.conf
-d /var/log/snort -f snort.u2 -w /var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo

The output of barnyard command is OK but shows, WARNING: Ignoring
corrupt/truncated waldofile.

For a simple test i did nmap attack,Snort creates the log files in
/var/log/snort but the size is always empty. i can see the output on the
console though. I have tried to research and apply almost all the advice on
similar issue in this mailing list but none of them helped me. Could you
please help me?

thanks
