Hello all.  I have done quite a bit of searching and haven't found an 
answer.  Or anyone else saying they are having this problem, so maybe it is 
something I am doing.

I am just trying out OSSEC at this point.  I'm using 2.6.  And I am trying 
to use the centralized agent configuration, because I will be deploying to a 
few thousand machines if we move forward.

Here is the issue.  My windows agent is not respecting os="Windows" in the 
agent.conf.  To explain a bit, I have the agent.conf file with a section 
<agent_config os="Windows">.  The ossec.conf file on the agent just has the 
section pointing to the server.  The agent.conf file goes to the agent 
machine just fine, but when I restart the agent I get notices in the log 
about nothing being defined for syscheck, and stuff like that.

BUT...  if I take the "os="Windows"" part out, and just start with 
<agent_config>, it will work just fine.  I restart the agent and the log 
shows what is expected.

Any thoughts on why my agent doesn't seem to like the os="Windows" part?

Thanks!
