Hello, I have an agent on a HP-UX 11i box that is generating some odd
things in the logs and I was hoping someone might be able to help me
figure out what might be wrong.

After install I first added the agent to the ossec server (linux) and saw
2007/04/03 10:18:38 ossec-logcollector: Started (pid: 29826).
2007/04/03 10:19:11 ossec-remoted(1403): Incorrectly formated message
from '192.168.1.2'.
I assumed this was because the agent hadn't been started.

The agent was started and below is the output of the HP-UX agent's log.
2007/04/03 10:21:57 ossec-execd(1350): Active response disabled. Exiting.
2007/04/03 10:21:57 ossec-agentd: Started (pid: 25721).

2007/04/03 10:26:55 ossec-syscheckd: Process locked. Waiting for permission...

I didn't know what the process locked messages were all about so I had
the agent restarted (thinking that if the admin had not properly
started or restart the agent earlier and a process was still out
there)

2007/04/03 13:56:16 ossec-agentd(1301): Unable to connect to active

Now we still see the following on the ossec linux server and so far we
haven't seen any alerts from the HP-UX agent.
2007/04/03 13:56:16 ossec-remoted(1403): Incorrectly formated message
from '192.168.1.2'

Anyone have any clues to what might be up with our configuration?
Thanks,
Nick Baronian
