Hi Dan,

Refer to my previous email, I have the following findings.

The syscheck_control output just lists this file only. In general, the 
syscheck_control output is different as it will tell us whether it is a 
checksum, permission, file size change. Now, it just lists the file out without 
any explanation.

On the other hands, I login to the OSSEC client and I can't find any records 
about a new file is detected. From my personal understanding, if a file is 
changed, a file "diff.XXXXXX" would be generated under the 
/opt/ossec/queue/diff/local/opt/syslog-ng/conf/syslog-ng.conf. But I can't find 
this file.

Thanks & Regards,
Marcos
