I've been struggling with this all day , and it's time to get some help I think.
The machines were I want to install ossec does not have any compiler or build tools on them. I have to build this on another machine and install ossec as server on one machine, and ossec as agent on others. This is what I did initially (following the install guide) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# wget http://www.ossec.net/files/ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# wget http://www.ossec.net/files/ossec-hids-latest_sum.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat ossec-hids-latest_sum.txt MD5 (ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz) = XXXXXXX SHA1 (ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz) = YYYYYYYY [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# md5sum ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz MD5 (ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz) = XXXXXXX [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# sha1sum ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz SHA1 (ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz) = YYYYYYYY Then I did # tar -zxvf ossec-hids-*.tar.gz # cd ossec-hids-* # cd src # make all # make build # cd .. # nano etc/preloaded-vars.conf and set USER_BINARYINSTALL="x" Then # cd .. # tar -cvzf ossec-hids-0.9-2-binary.tar.gz ossec-hids-0.9-2 Then I transfered the tar file to the machine running the serverversion and did a server install successfully. Took about 1 minute before I got the first mail from ossec. Then I transfered the tar file to a machine where I want to run an agent, and did an agent install, no error messages. Then I try to do # /var/ossec/bin/manage_agents and the dialog displayed is not hte agent dialog I expected, as it is the same as I get on the server install. **************************************** * OSSEC HIDS v0.9-2 Agent manager. * * The following options are available: * **************************************** (A)dd an agent (A). (E)xtract key for an agent (E). (L)ist already added agents (L). (R)emove an agent (R). (Q)uit. Choose your action: A,E,L,R or Q: So, I've tried different ways of doing the build by using different make targets to see if anything gets any different, but I'm stuck. Any ideas to what I should do now to get the mange_agents to recognize its running on a client install ? System where I test the agent install Linux testagent 2.6.16-xen #1 SMP Thu Apr 13 18:46:07 BST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux Jan-Petter ::-Q
