Thanks for your reply, Dan.  I was under the impression that the server 
generated the hashes, through one of these agentless types.

   - ssh_integrity_check_bsd
   - ssh_integrity_check_linux
   - ssh_generic_diff
   - ssh_pixconfig_diff

The docs 
<http://ossec-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/agent/agentless-monitoring.html>state
 
that ssh authentication details for the host are required.  Doesn't a 
machine doing the work go against what agentless appears to be?  My 
understanding was that nothing was installed?

*Hmm I seem to have inadvertently also answered my question, as I didn't 
provide any SSH authentication details for the agent based monitoring.*
