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?
