Re: FW: Snort 2.8.6 & Snort Report 1.3.1 with "NoData..."

[Jun Wan <junwei_wan () hotmail com>]

Hi All,

Now Snort report 1.3.1 is working beautifully after I executed David's instructions, pls see followings:

jwan@snort03:~$ sudo /usr/local/snort/bin/snort -D -u snort -g snort -c /usr/local/snort/etc/snort.conf -i eth0

jwan@snort03:~$ sudo /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c /usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard2.conf -G 
/usr/local/snort/etc/gen­msg.map -S /usr/local/snort/etc/sid­msg.map -d /var/log/snort -f snort.u2 -w 
/var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo

Many thanks for David's help again.

Regards
 
John

The '.' and ':' are functionally the same in the chown command... At least with the syntax in the guide.

John and I worked together and got his installation working. It was an issue with Barnyard2 not importing into MySQL.

as far as the chown command, yes, it is a typo. However, file location is a matter of preference and where ever the 
config files live you need to match them with how snort/barnyard is invoked. This could be a startup script or within 
the .conf files themselves. On the note that they fail to report try: mysql -usnort -p<your mysql password> -D snort -e 
"select count(*) from event" run this a few times if the database grows then either barnyard or snort is logging. 
Verify which by either commenting out output unified2: filename <your file name>, limit 128 --- from snort.conf for 
barnyard logging or output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=<your password> dbname=snort host=localhost --- 
from snort.conf for snort logging Last you may look in your log files where the alerts are kept to see if they are 
proper ownership. I have noticed if I run snort as a different user it creates an alert.xxx file with different 
ownership and when I start it with snort it gets hosed because of permissions. e.g make sure all log files for snort 
alerts are: chown snort:snort <path to log files>
