No detail or contents in acid and barnyard

[Russell Fulton <r.fulton () auckland ac nz>]

Greetings All,
            I am running snort 2.0 with the unified output plugin (see appended
config file) and using barnyard (see command line and conf file
appended).  

Data is being logged to the database and displayed by acid but I get no
details (i.e. no IP header fields except addresses nor tcp fields except
port numbers) and no packet contents.

I have tried various strategies with running barnyard to handle both the
alert and log file:
      * -d log_dir -f snort.alert -f snort.log  and both outputs enabled
        in the conf file.  This does not produce any errors.
      * two processors one for the log and one for the alert, log
        process always seems to exit (no errors printed).

Clearly I am missing something can someone please take the time to look
the configs and try and spot the problem.

[ I have searched the archive and found several references to this
problem but no real solutions when I get this fixed I'll write an answer
for the FAQ!]

Thanks!  Russell
