Yes, I did it, I followed the instructions to add the agents and pass the SSL keys generated in the server to the clients. I still don't know why remoted doesn't feel like working on my system.

What else should I check?
Where does ossec keep the list of remotely managed agents?

Thanks for your help,

Jose

Hi Jose,

Did you add your agents using the manage_agents tool? If you don't
have any agent configured,
remoted will exit.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Just added some allowed-ips and now remoted is running... but it is still
not listening and the agents "don't get permission".

There must be something more to fix.

Do you have options like either of the following in ossec.conf
(/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf):

  <remote>
    <connection>syslog</connection>
    <allowed-ips>192.168.1.0/24</allowed-ips>
  </remote>

  <remote>
    <connection>secure</connection>
  </remote>

I believe with the first option (syslog) you'll need to setup syslog
to listen for network connections.

Hi,

The agents can't connect to my ossec server and I learned that it is because
it is NOT even listening to them!!

When I do:
#netstat -uanep |grep 1514
I get nothing back.

Then, when I try to restart the ossec it tries to start the remoted server:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ossec  restart
Killing ossec-monitord ..
Killing ossec-logcollector ..
ossec-remoted not running ..
Killing ossec-syscheckd ..
Killing ossec-analysisd ..
Killing ossec-maild ..
Killing ossec-execd ..

But the process dies inmediately:
$ ps -aef |grep ossec
ossecm    4019     1  0 09:02 ?        00:00:00 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-maild
root      4023     1  0 09:02 ?        00:00:00 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-execd
ossec     4027     1  1 09:02 ?        00:00:00
/var/ossec/bin/ossec-analysisd
root      4031     1  0 09:02 ?        00:00:00
/var/ossec/bin/ossec-logcollector
root      4044     1  0 09:02 ?        00:00:00
/var/ossec/bin/ossec-syscheckd
ossec     4048     1  0 09:02 ?        00:00:00
/var/ossec/bin/ossec-monitord
admin     4052  2712  0 09:02 pts/0    00:00:00 grep ossec

Checking the logs, it seems that the server decides it has no work to do
(lazy bastard!) and exists:
$ cat /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log |grep remote
2009/03/25 09:02:07 ossec-remoted: INFO: Started (pid: 4035).
2009/03/25 09:02:07 ossec-remoted(1501): ERROR: No IP or network allowed in
the access list for syslog. No reason for running it. Exiting.
2009/03/25 09:02:07 ossec-remoted: INFO: Started (pid: 4037).
2009/03/25 09:02:07 ossec-remoted(4111): INFO: Maximum number of agents
allowed: '256'.
2009/03/25 09:02:07 ossec-remoted(1410): INFO: Reading authentication keys
file.

It seems there is something left to configure or to fix to force the
ossec-remoted to stay at work.
What is it?
Where do I have to "set the IP or network allowed in the access list for
syslog"?

Thanks in advance!

Jose
