Nothing is different between your issue and this 3 year old thread? I don't have any issues with manage_agents. My basic steps were: edit src/LOCATION to be: DIR="/opt/ossec" Then ran: make setagent make all make build Finally I uncommented the USER_BINARYINSTALL line in etc/preloaded-vars.conf (and USER_NO_STOP). Running the install.sh script I still had to answer the type of installation question, but answering agent was sufficient. "/opt/ossec" was prepopulated. After a few enters, stuff was installed Running /opt/ossec/bin/manage_agents provided no errors. Running the other binaries however appeared to be an issue. > Il giorno mercoledì 9 novembre 2011 22:10:51 UTC+1, alsdks ha scritto: >> >> Hello, >> >> I was testing binary installations , as described here >> http://www.ossec.net/doc/manual/installation/installation-binary.html >> , and run into or a strange situation.
