RE: Another Barnyard Question

["Lance Boon" <lboon () firststatebanksw com>]

Thanks,
I'm ordering the new 2.1 book tonight; just another quick question do I
need to worry about the classification.config file or when I put the
changes you suggested will they take care of it as well? Is there a
really good readme, usage, etc on setting up and using barnyard? None of
the readme, usage or faq files that are in the barnyard-0.2.0.tar.gz
cover the usage of the config sid-msg-map etc for configuration
declarations. Once again thanks for all of the help.
Thanks
Lance

The Snort 2.0 book is not very useful for Barnyard 0.2 as a number of 
things changed.  The updated version from Syngress (Snort 2.1) documents

all of the changes in Barnyard 0.2.

For the config file on 0.2, try using these instead:

config sid-msg-map: /path/to/sid-msg.map
config gen-msg-map: /path/to/gen-msg.map
