Hi Glenn The file attached earlier works fine for me as well, so I would begin to look for "white noise" characters - unprintable but may upset your verify
By way of explanation, what I did was download the file you uploaded on 12th at 5:58am (your time) via Microsoft Outlook I opened the file in notepad (which implies that you actually do have line-feed characters in that version of the file - but no worries) What I did then is select all and copy to clipboard - then in a Console (I use Putty), I created a new agent.conf using nano - and pasted all the data into it. Saved and exited Then ran ./verify-agent-conf successfully Works for me on almost brand-new release from dcid-ossec-hids-d465e7d19b05 Andy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of brighamr Sent: Wednesday, 13 July 2011 10:33 a.m. To: ossec-list Subject: [ossec-list] Re: file attached - agent.conf v 2.5.1. everything else has worked flawlessly except this file wont pass verify-agent-conf, and due to this it wont work correctly on the agents. I'm at a loss, but absolutely appreciate everyone's help!
