Re: Barnyard2 error

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

I also get those questions, and I always give the same response.

If the 'WARNINGS:' messages are boiler plate for a particular set of event/s
within Barnyard2, maybe expanding in the 'WARNING:' to include a reasonable
explanation of why the 'WARNING:' occurred.

WARNING: Ignoring corrupt/truncated waldofile
'/var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo'
INFO: Creating a new Waldo file. It appears there is no waldo file, or it
possibly has been truncated zero bytes..

Best regards,
Michael...

that's not an error... that is a warning... there is a difference ;)

it is simply telling you that there is no waldo file or that it is truncated
(possibly to zero bytes)... when the alerts start appearing in your snort.u2
file(s), the waldo file will be created and maintained...
