Barnyard not using gen-msg.map

[Jon P <jon () streamlinedev net>]

m using the ET Community rule set. Pulled pork updates this daily. That
seems to be working fine. 

I did something that is causing my alerts to now be loaded as Snort
Alert [1:2101411:12] in BASE. 

I *think* the issue is with the gen_file and sid_file; but my config
looks ok. 

config classification_file: /etc/snort/classification.config
config gen_file:            /etc/snort/gen-msg.map
config reference_file:      /etc/snort/reference.config
config sid_file:            /etc/snort/sid-msg.map
input unified2
output alert_fast: stdout
output database: log, mysql, user=snort xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Both the *.map files look right and have the text for the alerts im
seeing. 

Is it better practice to use the -S and -G options?


Thanks!
