Read the notes in the barnyard2.conf file for how to configure %%PREFIX%%/etc/barnyard2.conf after installation. For addtional information see the Securixlive FAQ at http://www.securixlive.com/barnyard2/faq.php. In order to enable barnyard2 to start on boot, you must edit /etc/rc.conf with the appropriate flags, etc. See the FreeBSD Handbook for syntax: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-rcng.html For the various options available, type % barnyard2 -h after install or read the options in the startup script - in %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d. Barnyard2 can process unified2 files from snort or suricata. It can also interact with snortsam firewall rules as well as the sguil-sensor. Those ports must be installed separately if you wish to use them. ************************************************************************
