[Ossec-list] Installing a pre-compiled agent on another machine

[oahmet at metu.edu.tr (ahmet ozturk)]

Hi Fred,

ossec client-installation installes the following binaries:

- manage_agents
- ossec-control
- ossec-logcollector
- ossec-agentd
- ossec-execd
- ossec-syscheckd

I think easiest way to do what you want would be make a prototype
installation on a client and copy the entire /var/ossec directory 
on to  other client  machines.

then you should add the new client on server, extract its key and
import it in the client.
(please see: http://www.ossec.net/en/manual.html#manageagents)

also don't forget to customize the /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf file
for localfiles, active responses, etc.

Regards,

~ahmet.
