Thanks for the info. BTW: is there a certain rule that would do this?

The only reservation I would have about this is if we're dealing with
files that contain keys that are never/rarely supposed to change where
the keys are not supposed to be replicated around or in plain view. It
seems that OSSEC already creates a copy of the file.

So if I get an email alert detailing the changes, and the change
happened to be of the actual key, for example, a copy of that key will
now exist in my email. Am I missing something here?

I guess there are certain things that probably aren't a good idea to
report changes on in certain scenarios.
