Sorry, I didn't prepend the subject line with [ossec-list].
There have been some users who have had trouble logging in to the OSSEC
virtual machine. Assuming that iptables is turned off, the problem most
likely has to do with the fact that the VM network adapter is in NAT mode
out of the box. You need to switch it to Bridged mode to be able to login
in to it. Here is how you do that after you start up the VM:
1. Find the VMware network adapter settings. On VMware Fusion you do this
from the top menu bar by selecting *Virtual Machine > Network Adapter >
Network Adapter Settings...*
2. Click on the item Connect directly to the physical network (Bridged)
3. Make sure the Enable Network Adapter is ON.
4. Click on Close.
5. Open a terminal in the OSSEC VM.
6. su to root
7. Restart the netork interface by typing - *service network restart*
8. Type this command - *ifconfig | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}'*,
then take the first IP address you find.
9. Login into this IP address using ssh like this *ssh@ossec@<IP from step
8>*
10. Enter the password *_0ssec_*
The you should be good to go. Thanks to the users who pointed out this
issue to me.
