I'm having the same problem. But it doesn't happen for all messages. Some have 4 of the same, some have 7. If this continues I'll have to try to unsubscribe and then subscribe again. Jimi On 5/18/10 10:55 AM, B/K Walker wrote: > On Tue, 18 May 2010 14:07:17 +0200 Wim Remes wrote: >> yup, yup,

You could always dump the output of some account auditing program into a file and add a custom rule to monitor for something in that file. On linux the psacct suite of tools works well for me. jimi MdMonk wrote: > .bash_history isn't updated until the shell is exited. > > -Chuck > > On Thu, A

Dan, What linux distro are you using? I know that on Fedora SElinux kernel extensions are turned on by default and this prevents the WUI from getting access to the proper places on the file system. So you would need to type the following (if you chose the default install locations) chcon -R --

Dan, I have yet to implement version 2 of the software, but I know in version 1.6 there was a default of 12 emails per hour or something along those lines. You can look into the tag that goes in the global section of the config and set that to something really high, say . Jimi Dan Gherman

Also, I don't know if this still applies to the current version, but in previous versions you needed to have the SUNWxcu4 package installed. To see if you have it installed run: pkginfo | grep SUNWxcu4 Fletch Hasues wrote: > Looks like you are using the Sun Studio compiler instead of gcc which

This is my first attempt at writing startup scripts for OS X, so if anyone has some pointers they would be much appreciated. But for others you can use these as you wish. Just copy the files into /Library/StartupItems/OSSEC and you'll be set to have the software start on boot. You can also call

Paul, By default, after installation, OSSEC seems to start as a system service on boot and runs with SYSTEM account privileges. So the software will run in the background without that user needing to do anything. To see this go to START --> RUN --> and type services.msc . In the list you will

Josh you can split up email messages using grouping or alert levels. So say you wanted to send syscheck alerts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and apache alerts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You would need to add the following to your ossec.conf file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] syscheck

Daniel, I just created a new VM with Fedora 9 running the i386 version instead of the i86_64 version. syscheck_control works brilliantly on the i386 version. So I guess it's not Fedora, its just the 64 bit version of the OS. Jimi Jimi Schwar wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# gdb /v

I've been playing with rules this morning and stumbled across something that should help you out a bit better than my last reply. You might be able to use if_level to do this. Maybe something like this would work: 1 host_name_here Bumped up the level for this host 2 host_name

I don't know if there is a way to do this universally but I think you can always add a per rule change in the local_rules.xml file. Take the logon failure as an example: Original Rule: FAILED LOGIN |authentication failure| Authentication failed for|invalid password for| LOGIN FAI
