Hi all, I need a little bit help from you guys! I have a major problem installing and running Ossec on VmWare Esx server 4.0 supervisor host. When i try to run ./install sh its shows the error message that the Esx linux does not have any c compiler installed. VmWare does not have yum or any other package manager so it will be very hard to install gcc and his dependencies and its not recommended by VmWare. So I did google a bit and find out that it is possible to just copy agent from another Linux and I copied the agent from Debian 5.0. I untar it to /var/ossec and tried to start /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control start But now I have the following error :
[r...@esx]# /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control start Starting OSSEC HIDS v2.4 (by Trend Micro Inc.)... 2010/04/07 09:08:38 ossec-maild(1203): ERROR: Invalid user 'ossecm' or group 'ossec' given. ossec-maild: Configuration error. Exiting I know that this problem is because users ossecm and ossec does not exist in VmWare. Now I'm unable to create the users on Esx, tried user add, add user nothing works. Please help, is there any other way or some how to for installing ossec on VmWare Esx 4.0 supervisor host ? Thanx in advance -- To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
