Snort Alert [1:xx] - sid-msg.map looks correct

[William Rehnquyst <rehnquyst () gmail com>]

Hi,

I've added some custom rules I grabbed from SANS, and changed them a little
bit to look like this:

alert tcp any any <> any any (msg:"American Express card number detected in
clear
text";pcre:"/3\d{3}(\s|-)?\d{6}(\s|-)?\d{5}/";content:"amex";nocase;sid:1000156;rev:1;)

Pulledpork update seems to have generated the sid-msg.map correctly,
because this alert does show up in the file:

1000156 || American Express card number detected in clear text

However, in my frontend, Snorby, the alerts are showing up "Snort Alert
[1:1000156:1], which from my research seem to indicate that it's because
either sid-msg.map isn't update (which it is), or barnyard2 wasn't
restarted. I've rebooted the server, so barnyard2 should have restarted
correctly.

Was there something I missed?

Thanks!
Rehn
