Hi all,

        I have some questions about central agent configs.  I've read over the 
available documentation and I'm a little confused.  I'm also new to OSSEC, so 
be gentle...

        First, is agent.conf the only central file available?  ie, all agents 
are configured in the same file?  How are ambiguous configurations resolved?  
For instance, if I create a config that covers Server A, which is a Linux 
machine, and I also have a config for all Linux machines, which config wins?  
Is it first match, fall through, or does it read through the entire file and 
the last options win?

        After the file is pushed by the server to the agent, must the agent be 
reloaded, or will the agent eventually refresh the config itself?  I know the 
agents can be remotely restarted, but this may prove troublesome if a central 
management system is used to push out config changes..
