'md5sum' is usually the command for getting md5 checksum of a file on linux, e.g.:
md5sum file.txt According to the documentation, you should see the md5sum of the agent.conf that the agent has in the agent_control -i <agent_id> output. To test that this works you could add something trivial (e.g. xml comment) to the agent.conf on the linux server, get the updated md5sum, and wait for the new md5sum to appear on the windows agent (or restart ossec on the linux server). I think you'd also see the modification time of the file change on the windows agent when it is updated.
