Hello everybody,

I'm still working in checking how many STIG rules have implemented
checks in OpenSCAP profiles. When executing oscap eval command, I
identified that there are several checks in status notchecked.

After some investigation, I identified that there was no oval checks
availables for these rules. After reading some documentation about OVAL
language, I was wondering if it will be possible to implement a check
for these rules.

For example, for the rule "homedirs must exist", the check consists in
doing a "pwchk -r" in order to identify if the homedirs exists or not.
With a shell script I know how to do that but in OVAL, i'm not sure if
it is possible.

So I have several questions about these kind of checks :
 - Is it possible to implement them using OVAL with an oval rule which
can do result command checks ?
 - Is it possible to implement these checks using another language. I
heard about SCE but it seems to be only for OpenSCAP.
 - Will these checks stay manual checks with notchecked status on SSG ?

Thanks for your answers.

Regards,
Olivier Bonhomme
