So it seems like something is wrong with the key. I haven't really seen any complaints about this not working for anyone else. What SSH client/terminal are you using? Perhaps you can visually compare the keys on the manager and the agent. Also make sure the manager's ossec processes stopped. Stop them, make sure they're stopped (`ps auxww | grep ossec` should probably be enough), then start them again. I've seen that be the issue in the past. > Best wishes.... > Colin > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of dan (ddp) > Sent: 21 November 2014 16:22 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ossec-list] Cant Get it Working > > On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 11:11 AM, Colin Bruce <[email protected]> wrote: >> Dear Dan, >> >> >> >> Thanks for the reply.
