Installation: FAQ

Chown errors during installation on AIX:

AIX does not accept /bin/false as a valid shell by default. It must be added to the SHELLS line in /etc/security/login.cfg before running install.sh.

The Windows GUI is asking me for a key, where do I get it?

The Windows version of OSSEC is agent only, it cannot work without a server. The key can be obtained from the server using manage_agents.
