Hi all, I recently installed Ossec 1.6 in an Ubuntu 8.04 desktop box. It works fine, but it doesn't start automatically at boot time.
I tries to, but since the network interface is started by network-manager after logging in, and not at boot time, Ossec just complains that it can't find the SMTP server, concludes that the configuration is incorrect and exits. Example: 2008/08/29 12:34:11 ossec-maild(1501): ERROR: Invalid SMTP Server: gsmtp183.google.com. 2008/08/29 12:34:11 ossec-maild(1202): ERROR: Configuration error at '/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf'. Exiting. 2008/08/29 12:34:11 ossec-maild(1202): ERROR: Configuration error at '/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf'. Exiting. When I start Ossec manually after logging in, it starts without complaining. Is there a way to either tell Ossec to start even without a network and send emails only when a network is available, or to start and stop it by network-manager? Thanx in advance! :) Gratefully, Lyle
