Thanks.

Since they are all empty files, nothing should break if they are all deleted, right?

I think what you're seeing is what is described in CVE-2014-5284 -
http://www.ossec.net/?p=1135

Basically, they were in /tmp, and then a vulnerability was
disclosed... so those files were moved from /tmp to /var/ossec in
2.8.1

Hi,

I see a bunch of files in /var/ossec with names of the form
ossec-hosts.*. what are they and how can I stop the system from
creating them?

Here are a few examples.

ossec-hosts.1i6uugNQB3
ossec-hosts.BFHjPh9dwg
ossec-hosts.i4EvjkDXUh
ossec-hosts.U3thtpzm6b
ossec-hosts.1MeJfr9MGt



So those files appear to be temporary files. Shouldn't they be in
/tmp,
instead of /var/ossec?
