Hi All,

We've recently finished running the Draft RHEL 7 STIG against an instance of SIMP running atop Puppet Enterprise and thought that the results might be of interest.



We would certainly be interested in discussion regarding any items marked with "Suggest SSG Feedback" and we will be incorporating the reports into our core documentation right after we fix the findings.

On a slightly side note, I'm now collecting banners for SIMP, if you have one you'd like to donate, PRs are most welcome to https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-issue (look in the 'files' directory).

Thanks,

Trevor

Holy crap, this feedback looks awesome! Wanted to acknowledge we got
it.... but you'll likely find responses slow as most @redhat.com staff
returned today from 1-1.5 weeks of corporate holiday shutdown. Thanks
for starting the thread! Speaking for myself, I'll likely have time to
review (in detail) Thursday.

Hi Nathanael,

Thanks for pointing that out. That would be me copy/pasting the wrong line from my crontab :-|.

I'll PR that correction into the reports.

It talks about enabling aide via cron, but the Notes have this:

32 5 * * 0 /bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/clamscan -l /var/log/clamscan.log
--official-db-only=yes -r --no-summary -i --bytecode-timeout=60000 --
max-files=10000 --max-filesize=25M --max-scansize=100M --max-
recursion=16 --max-dir-recursion=15 /tmp /var/tmp /dev/shm

Which seems completely unrelated to aide...

No problem, just wanted to get it out there when I got it!

Glad that it will be helpful.
