Hello,

I've tested before OSSEC 2.5 and I've use some decoder for porsentry.
When I tried these decoders on OSSEC 2.6 I have some mistakes like
theses:
 *******************************************************************
Started ossec-remoted...
2011/07/28 16:42:04 ossec-syscheckd(1210): ERROR: Queue '/etc/ossec/
queue/ossec/queue' not accessible: 'Connection refused'.

queue: '/etc/ossec/queue/ossec/queue'. Giving up..

I tried many, many things, and I find my error, the new ossec 2.6
doesn't accept anymore the "-" in the decoder name.

When my decoder name is <decoder name="portsentry-attackalert">, ossec
doesn't want to restart.
When my decoder name is <decoder name="portsentryattackalert"> ossec
restart without any problem.
When my decoder name is <decoder name="portsentryattackalert2"> ossec
restart without any problem.


I'm sorry if this issue was already documented, I haven't find the
explanation on ossec website or in the 2.6 "What is new?" web page.
May be this can help somebody.

It is normal? or it's a "bug" of the 2.6 release?
