Description:
Tiger is a set of bash scripts to run automatic security audits and intrusion detection on Unix systems.
The project was abandoned since mid-90's, and got resurrected by one of the main Debian security developers (Javier Fernández-Sanguino).
It proved very useful many times on the Debian servers I manage, and I'm pretty sure it could be as useful on Fedora.

Since Tiger is very system-specific, it needs customization to integrate it into Fedora. Right now, I've only ported Javier's fixes and adaptations for Debian (which is a 20000+ lines patch...).
I'd like to make sure it works as this, and I'll add more Fedora-specific checks afterwards (such as "yum check-update", "rpm -V", and maybe even SELinux checks, there's much to do)

So here are the best ways you can review Tiger :
 - Check for packaging errors, as usual
 - Install it, tweak /etc/tiger/tigerrc a little, run "tiger" and tell me if you have error messages.
 - Tell me what false-positive alerts you get in the previous command so I can add them to /etc/tiger/tiger.ignore
 - Look into /etc/tiger/tiger.ignore and tell me if you think I've ignored something valid
 - Please review my one-liner patch for a C program not compiling with gcc4, as I really don't know C...
 - Tell me where Tiger could be better integrated into Fedora

When you run "tiger", all checks enabled in /etc/tiger/tigerrc are run. But there is also an automatic testing system, where the scripts are run at different times according to /etc/tiger/cronrc. If you can, please run each script in this crontab and tell me which false-positive you get.

One of Tiger's best features is to report only what's changed since the last run (configurable in /etc/tiger/tigerrc), but it does not mean we should not get rid of false-positives in the first place.
