Hey all,
I started noticing this message when running the OSSEC batch manager
Perl script:
[r...@mybox jplee3]# ./ossec-batch-manager.pl -a -n testing1 -i 211 -p
10.1.1.1
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./ossec-batch-manager.pl
line 287, <FH> line 158.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./ossec-batch-manager.pl
line 287, <FH> line 161.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./ossec-batch-manager.pl
line 287, <FH> line 170.
The agent gets added fine, as far as I can tell. It's just that error
pops up. I have over 200 agents now. I don't recall this being an
issue until lately. Is this a 'false positive' where Perl is
complaining that there's too many agents?
Line 287 is in the code below:
# If the file isn't readable, the id probably isn't already in it
if (-r AUTH_KEY_FILE) {
open (FH, "<", AUTH_KEY_FILE);
while (<FH>) {
chomp;
my ($id, $name, $ip, $key) = split;
$rval = 1 if ($id == $newid && $rval == 0);
$rval = 2 if ($name eq $newname && $rval == 0);
$rval = 3 if ($ip eq $newip && $rval == 0); #line 287
}
close(FH);
Any ideas what might be going on here?
