Hi,

I'm reading the man page of syscheck-control (
http://www.ossec.net/doc/programs/syscheck_control.html) and would like to
know what exactly is meant by "clearing" the syscheck database.

Does running syscheck-control -u remove the history of file changes, or does
it also remove the baseline information about files for that system?

E.g.  for agent 1, if I do the following
run syscheck -> get baseline1
change files
run syscheck -> get baseline2 (now showing changed files)
run syscheck-control -u  (history is removed)

Does this mean that only baseline2 is removed? or is everything (baseline1 &
baseline2) removed?

If it is the latter, then if I again change some files on the agent and run
syscheck again, I should not get any alerts for modified files (since there
is no baseline on the manager).  Is this correct?

Regards,
Chris
