Pardon me for lurking on the list, but I'm trying to learn as much about Snort as possible.
Lurking, eh? Ok, 10 lashes with a wet noodle and 3 penalty drinks. ;-)
Also pardon what is probably a stupid question: What is "barnyard"? Could you point me to an URL where I could "help myself"? Thanks.
Sure! http://search.britannica.com/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=barnyard&query=barnyard *ducks* Ok, I couldn't resist. ;-) Barnyard is a seperate daemon process that runs on your snort sensor. It's job is to handle all of the connections from snort sensor back to the DB. Currently, the way the DB output works, if the DB connection drops or fails, snort stops logging. Barnyard allows snort to log, and then post into the DB even if there is a network problem. http://www.snort.org/dl/barnyard/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/barnyard/ Cheers! ----- Erek Adams Nifty-Type-Guy TheAdamsFamily.Net _______________________________________________________________ Multimillion Dollar Computer Inventory Live Webcast Auctions Thru Aug. 2002 - http://www.cowanalexander.com/calendar _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
