2Using SAMHAIN on Win2K
3----------------------

5samhain builds and runs on Win2K (and maybe other M$ products) with
6the (free, GPL) Cygwin environment.

10 written. Check the manual and/or run './configure --help' for
11 available options.)

13 The configuration I'm testing now is a server on OpenBSD 2.8 and a client on
14 W2K, using the latest Cygwin. I was able to compile the client on a W2K
15 Cygwin development machine using those configuration flags:
16
17 --enable-static
18 --enable-network
19 --with-tmp-dir=/tmp
20 --with-data-file=REQ_FROM_SERVER/samhain.db
21 --with-config-file=REQ_FROM_SERVER/etc/samhainrc
22 --with-logserver=x.x.x.x
23 --with-lock-file=/cygdrive/c/samhain.lck
24 --with-log-file=/cygdrive/c/samhain.log
25
26 I was able to successfully compile and sign the executable, upload to the
27 production server with the cygwin1.dll in the same directory and run both
28 samhain -t init and samhain -t check.

30 If you need a stealthy configuration you could change lock & log file to
31 something more obscure, only pay attention that in Cygwin if you need to
32 access drive C: you have to prefix your path with /cygdrive/c.
33
34 The configuration is kept on the server where Yule runs; I registered the
35 client and I'm in the process of tuning the exceptions for the files
36 modified by Windows.
