Hi,
thanks for this tutorial! You could add description for installation of "ossec web ui" - http://www.ossec.net/dcid/?p=17
The installation for the web ui following the instructions on the ossec website didn't work for me. But this tutorial did, so thank you. My network now runs several clients that are all "big brothered" by ossec.
Grtz
