Hi,

Sorry, I may not have been clear.  MySQL is running on #1, and Barnyard on #2 connects to MySQL on #1.  #1 is up and 
running when #2
is restarted.

I have two Snort machines, #1 is running MySQL and BASE.  I have a script to
startup snort and barnyard on #2 with priority 95, but on startup, barnyard
gives me the following error message:


Failed to connect to database snort:XXXXXX@172.17.129.150/snort: Can't
connect to MySQL server on 172.17.129.150 (101)

Fatal Error, Quitting... Exiting.

If I SSH into #2 and then run the startup script, barnyard connects properly.

Any ideas on how to get this to work?


Sounds like you have a timing issue.  Mysql has to be completely up and running 
and waiting for connections before barnyard can login to it.  Make sure that 
the mysql script has a low enough priority that by the time barnyard starts 
mysql is ready.
