hello jeremy, thanks for your input, ill consider your thoughts.
i installed seconion and yes it has configs and such to review.
not really my point of what im complaining about. it's the howtos.
have you been following all what i said, or just the last few emails.
in any event, you will notice a reoccurring them. see if you can find
it ;)

i find it funny how you and others write a lot of stuff, like you think
i dont know anything,
how about rather, jump in and help. 

it's called community.

my mentors always helped, im always looking for more.
i found a few here, so.. if you dont mind a few emails with valid
complaints, then 
everything is cool. 

if not, what can i say dude, nothing is quite clear, heck you are even 
pointing me to seconion, thats not a howto, and no new user will be able
to find 
out all the stuff required for all the pieces of the puzzling looking at
a config server.
you kidding? lolol

actually responding this email is a waste of time... ill try not to from
this point forward.
if you feel you know it all just say, pointing people to a man page or
google, well, 
thats not community in my book, nor is it friendly.

I NEVER SAY TO ANYONE, RTFM, LMGTFY, thats evil... 

are you evil?

ps. Mr. Bates is community :)
pss. who are you? dont bother me, im busy....

Honestly.. instead of going back and forth over and over and saying
that the tools don't work, when everyone else here knows they do you
should probably install security onion, see hows it works, including
the settings,  options, integration's with databases and all that, see
that it does work, and then use it to figure out why your system isn't
working. Plus they you can try changes on a known good working system
and see how they effect things and then integrate them into whatever
scripts you keep talking about using.

The tools work and it's not nearly as hard as you are making it.

And BTW - criticizing the people that write the tools, that's probably
not going to help your case.

Hello all

next topic, revisited:

why?

i run snort/barnyard2 this way: should i change?

/usr/local/bin/snort -A fast -c /etc/snort/etc/snort.conf -i eth0 &

I should have made it clearer in my previous email, but you should drop
the -A fast.

# snort -A fast -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth1

Again, Snort is creating a pcap file and not a unified2 log.

# snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth1

Obviously when all is running fine you can daemonize with -D.
Using & you're backgrounding any startup errors you might see.

After this I suspect barnyard2 will work fine as it
will have the unified2 input it is expecting.
