[ossec-list] Inconsistencies with syscheck realtime + report_changes

All, I have hundreds of machines that are (supposed to be) all configured exactly the same way via kickstarts and periodic Puppet runs. I've noticed that sometimes a Puppet push will modify a file across all of our machines, and the resulting syscheck notifications are a mixed bag - some have

Dave, Thanks for your suggestions. If I start remoted manually it doesn't complain that the port is already in use. I am also starting it in debug mode and its starts cleanly AND works when I start it manually. I *do* have remoted configured to accept both tcp and udp logs on port 514, but
