[augeas-devel] rkhunter.conf

Fri Apr 4 14:01:48 UTC 2014

OK, I'm a bit farther on this.  I followed the instructions here:

https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/wiki/Loading-specific-files#loading-even-less

After doing a "print" I discovered some errors.

Shellvars doesn't like the following two strings that should be quoted.  Apparently EPEL forgot to do that.

SUSPSCAN_DIRS=/tmp /var/tmp

DISABLE_TESTS=suspscan hidden_procs deleted_files packet_cap_apps apps

After commenting the strings and doing a quick test via Puppet, I verified Shellvars works with this file.

Also just for completeness, in case someone reads this in the future, this is one way to find parse errors:

[root at puppet manifests]# augtool --transform "Shellvars.lns incl /etc/rkhunter.conf"
augtool> print /augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/path = "/files/etc/rkhunter.conf"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/mtime = "1396619823"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/lens = "Shellvars.lns"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/lens/info = "/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/shellvars.aug:163.12-.99:"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/error = "parse_failed"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/error/pos = "33423"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/error/line = "926"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/error/char = "13"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/error/lens = "/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/shellvars.aug:163.12-.99:"
/augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/error/message = "Syntax error"

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Ralphael. :)

Thanks for the response Raphael.  I tried both version 1.0.0 and 1.1.0.  I get no information back from augtool.

[root at firefly ~]# augtool --transform "Shellvars.lns incl /etc/rkhunter.conf"
augtool> print /files/etc/rkhunter.conf
augtool>

The file is there.

[root at firefly ~]# ll /etc/rkhunter.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root root 39322 May 13  2012 /etc/rkhunter.conf

The file only contains comments, and options such as:

SUSPSCAN_THRESH=200
SUSPSCAN_DIRS="/tmp /var/tmp"

What am I missing?

Hello Kent,

You don't need to modify the lens in order to test it againt your file. You can just tell Augeas to use this lens for this file. In Augeas >= 1.0.0, you can use:

    augtool --transform "Shellvars.lns incl /etc/rkhunter.conf"

If your file is present in this location, you should see one of these two:

* Parsed content in /files/etc/rkhunter.conf
* Errors in /augeas/files/etc/rkhunter.conf/error

The only case that I can think of where you wouldn't see any of these (besides the file being absent/empty) is if you're using Augeas 0.7.X, which had a bug in parse error reporting.

Cheers,

Raphaël Pinson

I'm just getting started with Augeas.  Decided I'd like to use it for /etc/rkhunter.conf.  It looks to me like shellvars.aug should work for the file.  I tried a quick test to see if it would work by adding ". incl "/etc/rkhunter.conf"" under "filter_misc" to shellvars.aug.  I realize this isn't probably the approved way of going about this.

What I don't understand is, why doesn't "augtool print /files/etc/rkhunter.conf" report anything back?  I see nothing in /augeas//error.
