1. so best to remove older snort.logs when i restart snort or
pulledpork.pl is run?

When all is running okay, you shouldn't have to remove the older logs.

I have a morning cronjob to run PP that also then does

service snort restart
service barnyard2 restart

- - but PP can do this by itself if you give it the right PID information.

You need to restart barnyard2 after a rule update as sid-msg.map is
updated which is essentially the file that maps the SIDs to names for
barnyard to log the correct information to MySQL - otherwise you start
logging a generic 'Snort Alert xxx'.

2. does waldo need to be there right now? i dont think there is
enough traffic to warrent it...

While you are still testing, each time I would (personally)

stop snort
stop barnyard2
delete (or move out of the way) snort.log/alert/waldo
start snort (a new snort.log should be created)
start barnyard2 (a new waldo file will be made and snort.log
should be processed).
