[Ossec-list] a few items

Hi Dominik,

Thanks for the feedback. I just released the 0.7p1 (patch 1) version that
includes these fixes.

1- Now the ossec-control is looking to see where it is installed,
finding the right path.
2-Fixed that too.
3-Altough this message was not fatal (the process didn't die) I fixed it too.

The checksum_dir was used to store the temporary checksum entries. I removed
it from the install :)

Let us know if you find any more problems...

Thanks,
