Hi,

i installed ossec agent 1.4 on a CentOS Server (i used a selfmade rpm
Package).

i did this steps:

- install the rpm
- added the agent on the server
- imported the key on the client
- start the client

Now i always got this message on the client

After a few minutes the client disconnects. Before this the client is
running and sends his checks to the server.

On the Server i got not error Messages in the log.

The RPM and the Server is not the Problem. It works fine on other
CentOS Servers. Yesterday it also worked on this server, but i had to
reinstall the whole server today and also reinstalled ossec. Now i
have the problems.

I also tried to delete the client on the server and re-added it.

Can you guys please help me?

Kind regards
Sebastian

Greetings:

Please consider using ossec 1.6.1 as it is the latest version.

Please make sure UDP 1514 is open between the agent(s) and the server
in any hardware or software firewall / ACL.

Thank you.

Hi,

today i installed 1.6.1 by Hand from the sources. Same error

Thats no Firewall issue. Like i said, the client is able to connect
and works, but after a few minutes he disconnects. (See first Post:
"After a few minutes the client disconnects. Before this the client is
running and sends his checks to the server. ").

There is no error in the Server logs

Kind regards

Sebastian

a new error message. Maybe this is the reason why the client lost the
connection?!
