You shouldn't necessarily have to touch the waldo file when you're
starting up.

As Ian has commented earlier on the list:

"
- --== Initializing Barnyard2 ==--
Initializing Input Plugins!
Initializing Output Plugins!
Parsing config file "/usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard2.conf"
Log directory = /var/log/barnyard2
"

If you're writing your unified2 files to one directory and barnyard2
is looking in an entirely different directory then you won't get any
alerts (into MySQL).
