sagan-rules: /etc/sagan-rules/ossec.rules
Seems like the only reference to ossec in Jessie is this rules file in
the Sagan package. Looking at the description for sagan-rules, it seems
to be along the right lines. But the sagan package is not in Jessie it
seems. It's in wheezy and in stretch/sid, but not in jessie. Any idea
what's up with that?
And was ossec packaged, or did you build it from source?
Cheers
