There are always advantages to staying current with software.  Check out the
changelog between 2.8.0.2 and 2.8.4.  Included with 2.8.4.

Barnyard2 should read the unified output module and input into your output
method desire.  Unified output hasn't changed in quite some time.

That you are running PCRE version 6.6.  I don't understand what you are
asking.

How did you install Snort?  Through the tarball or via RPM?  If you
installed via the tarball, you would need to check your config.log file.  If
you installed via the RPM, run the command "rpm -q snort" on the command
line.
