Did you installed ossec from source or from a package on your openSUSE system? I'm in the process is packaging and deploying ossec to a large number of openSUSE systems, 12.1, 12.3, 13.1 and SLE_11, and ossec certainly works just fine across all those platforms.
>From your post on the forum you're saying ossec doesn't start on boot. What is the output of the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/ossec-hids status and ps -aef |grep ossec This will tell us if there any ossec process running and the init status. FYI..the ossec-hids rpm build package links, to home:deadpoint/ossec-hids, from the forum posts are to my repository and package. That package, at least for the moment, is outdated and incomplete and if memory serves me doesn't work so don't use it. I have a working RPM package which I'm "fine tuning" the packaging but haven't made the sources publicly available yet. -- Later, Darin On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 1:24 PM, BMor <[email protected]> wrote: > OSSEC installs well on many Linux operating systems.
