[ossec-list] Re: /etc/client.keys not found

[Tomas Olsson <tol@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for you answer Daniel,

Well, the case is that I have added an agent, copied a key by following 
the instructions... should I restart the server? Maybe the problem has 
to do with the permission to write to the client.keys file? I also had 
some problems with not correctly set permissions (As another message 
talked about). I changed them manually, but maybe what I did was not enough.
