RFC Description

RFC (Remote Filesystem Checker) is a set of scripts that aims to help System-Administrators. RFC (Remote Filesystem Checker) is a set of scripts that aims to help System-Administrators run a filesystem-checker (like tripwire, aide and so on...) from a "master-node" to several "slave-nodes" using ssh, scp, sudo and few other coHere are some key features of "RFC":· crate/update FileSystem-Checker's (FSC) database· execute FSC and create a log-report· allow parallel execution, mass-check and mass-upgrade!· support non-interactive operations· use scp/ssh for all connections· use an arbitrary port for ssh/scp connections (may be different for each host!)· send (ONE) email to administrator(s)· rotate logs, databases and other files· support for AFICK, AIDE and INTEGRIT FileSystem-Checkers· check users creation/removal· check group creation/removal· check if someone changes UID, GID or shell· check for group's members or ID changes· check for SUID/SGID on remote host via a separate PERL script· check if remote-host is up before run checks on it (via nmap)· kill the processes that take too long (you can set an arbitrary timeout value)Requirements:· bash on any (?) posix system· base utils (chown, chmod, adduser, sed, grep...)· a mail program ("mail" itself is great)· nmap on master node· ssh/scp client & ssh-keygen on master-node· ssh/scp server on slave-nodes· sudo on slave-nodesWhat's New in This Release:· A new function that replaces the "seq" command, which is not available on all systems. A fix for a small bug that caused a "cp: missing destination file" error. A fix for an error that caused RFC to suggest a bad "sudo" setup.· A new function to check whether a node is alive without the "nmap" requirement.· "/lib" is included in all default configuration files for the filesystem checkers (afick, aide, and integrit).· AFICK has been updated to version 2.8-2.· The documentation reflects the latest changes.
