I have 2 issues w/ barnyard2 2.1.13 running on a Fedora 19 box.
The box has 3 sensor interfaces w/ 3 snort instances and 3
barnyard2 instances. Each of the barnyard2 instances is writing
output to a fast alert file and a remote Postgresql database.  The
first problem occurs during barnyard2 startup.  When the instance
initializes the database connection it encounters a fatal error
like so:

ERROR database: Query [SELECT sig_id FROM signature WHERE (sig_sid
= '17688') AND (sig_gid  = '1') AND (sig_rev  = '9') AND
(sig_class_id = '9') AND (sig_priority = '1') AND (sig_name =
'BROWSER-IE Microsoft Internet Explorer userdata behavior memory
corruption attempt'); ] returned more than one result

So far, the only fix I have been able to come up w/ is to
hand-remove the existing row from the signature table and restart 1
barnyard2 instance.  The 2nd instance encounters the same error, so
I repeat the process for all 3 instances.

I have encountered this same issue though not necessarily with this
same rule. Of course the reason that I have to restart the instance of
barnyard in the first place is that it crashed, probably as a result
of this sort of error.

For commonalities I am also logging to postgresql however I am doing
it from a FreeBSD box.
