Hi there, I've submitted a few patches to the Gentoo Security Guide lately and after submitting these I tried to get a bit more in detail with the guide. I tried to use the metalog.conf example. And it is not working.
The problem lies here: Critical : facility = "critical" command = "/usr/local/sbin/pwdfail.sh" As there is apparently no facility called critical I think it should perhaps be something like: Everything very important : facility = "*" minimum = 1 logdir = "/var/log/critical" Which is already in the default metalog.conf. Furthermore I checked the USE flags and naturally pam, ssl and tcpd is in the default USE flags in /etc/make.profile/make.defaults. So this section is also rather pointless. This leads me to wonder wether the rest of the stuff I have not checked is in a similar bad shape? Also is the targeted group of users the correct one of the Gentoo Security Guide? I wonder if it would be easier making a quality guide for Gentoo users if it was smaller and more focused on the average user? Before using any more time on the guide I would like to hear your opinions on what should be done. Should I start a rewrite and if so what should be in the guide? Also if anybody would help out with this work it would be greatly appreciated. /Sune -- [email protected] mailing list
