+Unless stated otherwise, every option here corresponds to certain configuration
+block which would be placed in one of the configuration files in "ossec.conf.d"
+directory. Disabled options will do the same, but for "ossec.conf.d/disabled"
+directory. All "*.conf" files from the "ossec.conf.d" directory will be merged
+into "ossec.conf" in alphabetic order. If you are not satisfied with the
+generated configuration, you can disable the corresponding option and use files
+from "ossec.conf.d/disabled" directory as samples.
+
+The "pushed" sections (*_P options) relate to configuration pushed to agents
+using "agent.conf". The generated configuration blocks will be placed in
+"agent.conf.d" and "agent.conf.d/disabled" directories.
+Note that the agent needs to enable proper profile to benefit from "agent.conf"
+configuration pushed by the server. This also means that profiles not enabled
+on the agent are ignored. This is why all "pushed" options are enabled by
+default. The port currently contains configuration templates for the following
+agent systems:
+
+ - FreeBSD
+ - Debian Linux
+
+Consider contributing to the port by contacting the maintainer and providing
+configuration templates for other operating systems runnig OSSEC agents.
+
+Files generated by the port will be overwritten during port upgrades so any
+additional configuration should be put in separate files.
+
+File Integrity Checking:
+
+ NOAUTO_SC:
+ OSSEC by default will ignore files that change too often (after the third
+ change). This option disables this feature. Files that change too often
+ as a result of correct system operation should better be added to ignore
+ list manually.
+
+Command Output Monitoring:
+
+ Adds additional commands, the output of which can be monitored. To actually
+ send alerts about the changing output, the proper rules need to be configured
+ as well (see CMDOUT_R option).
+ These commands can be tweaked in "command.conf".
+
+Active Response Firewall:
+
+ Creates "firewall-drop.sh" hardlink to one of the scripts shipped with OSSEC.
+ This option is only meaningful if this OSSEC instance will be the target of
+ "firewall-drop" active response.
