I tried both packages and they could not find the acid_db plugin.
Thanks. I'll d/l them and try to figure out what's going on.
Next I took your suggestion and cd to /usr/ports/security/barnyard/
and ran make install.
ports kept trying to fetch mysq-client-4.13.tar.gz from alot of strange
places.
The port Makefile assumes that bsd.ports.mk will make the decision about
what version of mysql-client to use.
I am thinking because I have not run cvsup yet that
the ports tree is out of date. I can not run cvsup until after hours and
I forgot to run it last night.
Definitely cvsup first.
Next:
I downloaded the package:
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/databases/my
sql-client-4.1.13.tbz
then ran pkg_add -f mysql-client-4.1.13.tbz. I had already installed
mysql-client-4.1.16_1 to get snort to send alerts to the mysql database
before I decided to try barnyard. so I had to force the install of
mysql-client-4.1.13.tbz.
I don't know why barnyard requires mysql-client-4.1.13 and did not use
mysql-client-4.1.16_1 in /var/db.
It most likely has to do with when the pkg was built. That's why I never
use packages.
I typed: cd
/usr/ports/security/barnyard,ran make, make install, and clean. I ran
barnyard.I did not get mysql errors anymore that I had with version that
I downloaded from www.snort.org/dl/barnyard and barnyard is attempting to
contact the mysql database.
A few questions if I may:
Question1: It is my understanding one can have more than one instance of
barnyard running.
Yes, this is true.
Does each barnyard require its own unifed log/alert
file or can multiple barnyard processes share the same output file?
I don't believe they can share the same output file. I'm not certain about
that, though. (I'm also not sure why you would want to do that.)
Question2: How do I turn the /doc/USAGE file into a man page?
You don't, unless you know a utility that will convert text files into man
pages.
Question3: Where is the MASTER_SITE info kept for mysql? I would like to
speed up install when I do this on another box instead of typing
make MASTER_SITE_OVERIDE
=ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/databases/
in the /usr/ports/database/mysql41-client directory.
They're defined in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk. Search for
MASTER_SITE_MYSQL in the file. The list is immediately below that. If
there's a site that's not working, please let the folks at FreeBSD know so
they can fix or remove it.
