Failed to spawn 'ossec-dbd' with '/sbin/service ossec-hids

[josejavier]

Hi

From last night I keep getting the following email:

Command executed: /sbin/service ossec-hids restart
Exit value: 1
Signal number: 0
Dumped core?: 0

Shutting down ossec-hids: [ OK ]
Starting ossec-hids: [FAILED]

All the light are green on the "signatures&modules" section. So not sure what the issue may be.

I think you need to upgrade to asl 4 to fix this issue
