Thank you for your reply! I appreciate the help. Using exactly what you
posted while inside the ossec-hids-A.B.C directory: "sudo env
SETMAXAGENTS=9999 USE_ZEROMQ=y ./install", it installs but the output still
reports the default. Could this be incorrect? Is there another way to
verify the max agents?
I don't understand why there is no make in your instruction, but it seems
that the installer is doing its own make and probably overriding the one I
manually build right before using it (the installer). Here is some output
from the beginning go the install script:
cd external/lua/ && make posix
make[1]: Entering directory
'/home/username/ossec-hids-2.9.3/src/external/lua-5.2.3'
cd src && make posix
make[2]: Entering directory

make all SYSCFLAGS="-DLUA_USE_POSIX"
make[3]: Entering directory

make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
