barnyard2 on centos error sysmtemctl status barnyard2 - Missing '='.

[cherazo]

Hi Guys,

Please apologize if this is not the correct place to put this.

I installed barnyard2 from source following and how to from google.

• Snortd is working and showing the traffic matching the rules in debug mode.
• PulledPork working ok, it was able to download and update the rules.
• Barnyard2 - Database is created with no error and it runs ok with command over the shell.

The issue is when I tried to run it as a service, even manually or by the startup script.

which barnyard2 (output)

/usr/local/bin/barnyard2

/etc/rc.d/init.d/barnyard2 - https://pastebin.com/NxHRA41N

/etc/systemd/system/barnyard2.service - https://pastebin.com/f0jR6wGS

/etc/init/barnyard2.conf - https://pastebin.com/kQwvK2uS

Everything as the proper permissions.

This is the error that I get when running-- systemctl status barnyard2

May 31 18:15:45 snort systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/barnyard2.service:8] Missing '='.

Obviously, it says Missing '='. but where?

Thanks for the help.

I had this same problem. For me it was a copy / paste issue. Try putting your ExecStart on one line. Here is my full barnyard2.service file:

[Unit]
Description=Barnyard2 Daemon
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=snort
Group=snort
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c /etc/snort/barnyard2.conf -d /var/log/snort -f snort.log -w /var/log/barnyard2/barnyard2.waldo

[Install]
