configuration issue with seccheck
Dear list I installed via rpm ( seccheck-2.0-140.rpm) seccheck. I read the README for seccheck but it is not clear how to install in a right way. I found the scripts in /var/lib/secchk/... and I can run all of them manually. But I want that the system run them automatically. Do I have to change something in cron.daily or in crontab? I changed already to START_SECCHK="no" in /etc/rc.config, but nothing happened! When I run the script with ./security-daily.sh manually, then check the script only user in the trusted group and not root or other user! He should even check root! And the script mentioned nothing when I have a password with less then 8 characters!!! Can seccheck write any logs or only mail? thanks for any help Oliver

?!? "no" means, that it will not be started ;-)

I use SuSE 7.2 with seccheck-1.8-18. /etc/cron.d/seccheck is this: # # SuSE Security Checks # 0 0 * * * root test -x /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh && /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh daily & 0 1 * * 1 root test -x /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh && /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh weekly & 0 4 1 * * root test -x /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh && /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh monthly & You can simply copy these lines to /etc/crontab, that's the same.
