Hi Dan I'm using IP address while trying to connect to the Agent .The command I'm using is scp /var/ossec/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys (where xx is the IP of the host)
I'm not able to fix the error showing: 2011/02/28 18:19:03 ossec-agentlessd: ERROR: ssh_integrity_check_linux: [email protected]: Timeout while connecting to host: [email protected] On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 1:26 AM, dan (ddp) <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Saboor, > > On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 11:28 AM, Saboor <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Dan > > > > I am trying to install OSSEC Agentless for monitoring .Successfully added > > the IP of the host in the 'register_host.sh' (in var/ossec/agentless)and > the > > script 'ssh_integrity_check_linux' in the ossec.conf (in > > var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf). > > > > While generating the public/private key using the command in ossec :'sudo > -u > > ossec ssh-keygen -t rsa' > > I was encountering the error "Could not create directory / > var/ossec/.ssh' > > For rectifying this error I had change the file permission of OSSEC to > 777 . > > This is a bad fix.
