Hi lostinthetubez,

Yes, the client.keys file exists on the server and the client has the
correct key. The permissions are as follows for /var/ossec/etc/:

root@ccisprlx11 # ls -la ../etc/
total 136
dr-xr-x---  3 root ossec  4096 Dec 14 17:23 .
dr-xr-x--- 13 root ossec  4096 Dec 14 16:59 ..
-r--r-----  1 root ossec    84 Dec 14 17:24 client.keys
-r--r-----  1 root ossec 97786 Jun 10  2015 decoder.xml
-r--r-----  1 root ossec  2842 Jun 10  2015 internal_options.conf
-r--r-----  1 root ossec  3519 May  4  2010 localtime
-r--r-----  1 root ossec  8360 Dec 14 16:59 ossec.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root root     88 Dec 14 16:59 ossec-init.conf
drwxrwx---  2 root ossec  4096 Dec 14 16:59 shared



Do you see anything odd with the permissions?
