Hello list,

I am seeing error 1203 when attempting to run any of the scripts from the 
"/var/ossec/bin" folder.

I have looked around for a fix and have not been able to find one. I have seen 
that a couple of other people have had the same issue. When I first installed 
it, I was able to start the agent and it was sending events to the server. I 
just happened to look at the server and noticed that the agent was 
disconnected. Nothing has changed since installation. Any clues?

[root@system bin]# ./ossec-control start
