I was referring to the differences between RHEL update 4 and RHEL update 5 but the question is probably better posed as: Is the auditing used in RHEL4 update 4 a dead end with respect to either RHEL4 update 5 or RHEL5? The reason for the question is that I need to write some scripts or graphical programs to tie some of the pieces together to construct meaningful auditablity for disjoint items. If I have to do this all over again, are the items going to be the same or completely different or somewhat the same? I can use the system as it is now, but I would have to run many ausearches and / or aureports with different parameters to get the information I want. When I need to look at 10's of systems, it is much easier to consolidate everything into a combined output and view the whole thing. But if the auditing is going to change, I will delay this part and put up with doing the systems individually until things are stable. I'm not being a critic, just trying to allocate my time efficiently.

Do you mean RHEL 4 vs. RHEL 5 (i.e. two successive releases of RHEL)? Or RHEL 4 Update 4 vs. RHEL 4 Update 5 (i.e. two successive updates for RHEL 4)? -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- Linux-audit mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit -- Linux-audit mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
