Topic: OSSEC.conf missing

[fred2k3]

Hi,

When I boot up my SAIL server (3.1.1-22) I'm getting the following errors against Starting OSSEC:

Code: [Select]

Ossec-config(1501): ERROR: Invalid SMTP Server:
ossec-config(1202): ERROR: Configuration error at '/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf'. Exiting.
ossec-maild(1202): ERROR: Configuration error at '/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf'. Exiting.

If I go to /var/ossec/etc/ there is no ossec.conf file, so I guess there's my problem.  What's the best solution here? Can I download one from somewhere?

Here is a vanilla ossec.conf.   You'll need to modify the email stuff at the top to suit your taste.

Kind Regards
