      Have you also installed the Snort package into the VM?  That directory path of /etc/snort/barnyard2.conf" is not correct for a properly configured Snort installation.  On pfSense, Barnyard2 is really a support package for Snort; so Snort must also be installed and configured.  In fact, Snort installs Barnyard2 during its own installation.

        Sorry for not giving details, but I'm doing a job monograph on intrusion detection, is a work of completion, only that I will simulate an attack on the virtual machine operating system is installed ubuntu 12.04 snort already installed, I'm having problems when I boot the barnyard2, I've looked at other forums the answer to the problem but it seems that does not have an exact answer, I find only parts of the discussion of the problem.

          Your response is a little difficult for me to follow due to the translation, but it sounds like you are trying to run Snort on Ubuntu 12.04 along with Barnyard2.  If that is true, then that has nothing to do with Snort on pfSense.  Am I misunderstanding your post?

                  The waldo file message is basically harmless.  Barnyard2 will complain about that file, but still work from my experience.

                      Yep, just waiting for something to come in so he can log it to the database.
