[ossec-list] ossec-agentd: error compressing string

[David Vasil <dmvasil@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to get an ossec agent to communicate with my ossec server.  I
have the server listening on port 1514, with my subnet added into the
'allowed-ips'.  On the agent, I installed the software, created the key
on the server, imported that key on the agent.  I configured ossec.conf
on the agent to communicate with the server using the port 1514 and
started the server and then the client.

With a tcpdump running, looking for *any* traffic to or from the server
host, I see no packets exchanged.  Looking in the logs on the client I
see this:

On both client and server, the client.xml keys match exactly.

What does this mean?  How can I fix this?  Thanks for your help!
