Re: snort - unified2 formart

You have "-A fast -b” on the command line.  This overrides your output directive in the snort.conf

I am running the latest version of snort

snort-2.9.6.1-1.x86_64

in /etc/snort/snort.conf


I added this and commented out the other lines:

output unified2: filename snort.u2, limit 128


if I try to start snort using the /etc/init.d/snortd script it runs it as:


/usr/sbin/snort -A fast -b -d -D -i eth0 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort


and I never see those snort u2 files instead I see:

/var/log/snort/snort.log.xxxxxxxxxxx


and barnyard2 seems to have an issue with reading those files.


If i manually run snort form (/usr/sbin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf) without any options it then creates the right 
file type /var/log/snort/snort.u2.xxxxxxxx


It is almost like it is not reading /etc/snort/snort.conf?

If anyone has any ideas that would be great.


Thanks
