Hi
We try to launch a linux agent. We have follow this doc :
https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/03.Basic-documentation/Setting-up-the-UNIX-agent-using-repository-on-client-computers/#introduction
We have installed it on a Debian 13 :
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)
Kernel: Linux 6.12.57+deb13-amd64
The agent does not launch :
#ocsinventory-agent --debug

# nmap ocs.XXX.fr
Starting Nmap 7.95 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2025-12-18 15:44 CET
Nmap scan report for ocs.XXX.fr (172.16.1.53)
Host is up (0.00058s latency).
Not shown: 999 filtered tcp ports (no-response)
PORT STATE SERVICE
443/tcp open https
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 4.88 seconds
We have Windows Agent (almost 250 PC) which are working like a charm. So we think it's not a server problem.
Any help would be appreciated :)
Regards
Marc
