Pandora FMS Windows Agent v1.2
==============================

For mode information, please refer to documentation, you can get it on our proyect website at http://pandora.sourceforge.net

This is the Windows agent installer, programmed in C++ with GNU tools and gcc.

The binary included is PandoraAgent.exe, that will run as a Windows Service.
This should be done by the installer, if you have any problem, run:

	PandoraAgent.exe --install

You can test the SSH configuration of the agent with command line:

	PandoraAgent.exe --test-ssh
	
The directory structure that will be created is something like:

Pandora_Agent\pandora_agent.conf   :: Pandora Windows Agent main configuration
Pandora_Agent\key\                 :: Directory which holds the private and 
				      public key files
Pandora_Agent\key\id_dsa           :: Private key to access the Pandora server 
				      using SSH
Pandora_Agent\key\id_dsa.pub       :: Public key to access the Pandora server 
			              using SSH

You also have:

Pandora_Agent\utils\	           :: Directory where the user could put 
                                      misc utils to use with exec type modules  
                                      I.e. UNIX-like tools (cut, grep, etc...)
