3This directory contains miscellaneous useful scripts, mostly contributed
4by various users. Additions and/or improvements are welcome.
5
6chroot.sh: prepare chroot environment for the log server
7---------
8
9 Usage: chroot.sh <chroot_directory>
10
11 Tested on Debian Linux. Your mileage may vary.
12 After running the script, review <chroot_directory>/etc/passwd
13 to replace passwords with a *, and to fix the
14 path to the home directory of the yule user.
15 If using a signed configuration file, you need
16 a working copy of GnuPG inside the chroot jail.
17
18 This script will probably fail on systems other than Linux,
19 mainly because of the mknod commands to create devices
20 in the chroot jail.
21
22 NO WARRANTY !!!
23
24samhainadmin.pl
25---------------
26
27 Perform various tasks useful if you are using signed configuration
28 and database files.
29
30 Run 'samhainadmin.pl -h' for usage instaructions.
31
32samhainrc_update.sh
33-------------------
34
35 If you are using the --with-kcheck option on Linux, after a kernel
36 update you need to change some option (addresses of kernel functions)
37 in the samhainrc configuration file. The correct new addresses must
38 be looked up in the System.map file
39
40 This script will do this automatically. Run 'samhainrc_update.sh -h'
41 for usage instructions. You may need to change the location of the
42 samhainrc file by editing the line 'cfgfile="/etc/samhainrc"'
43 at the beginning of the script.
44
45check_samhain.pl
46----------------
47
48 Nagios plugin for samhain. Will execute samhain and report results
49 in the way expected by nagios. Drop this into your nagios/libexec/
50 directory.
51
52samhain.logrotator: logrotate script
53------------------
54
55 This is a logrotate script (contributed by Simon Bailey)
56
57concat.pl
58---------
59
60 Concatenate samhain file signature databases and write the resulting
61 database file to stdout. Does not work on signed or otherwise modified
62 file signature databases.
63
64samhain.{cgi|dtd|xsl}: display XML logfile in XML capable browser
65--------------------- (works with Mozilla 1.2, possibly Mozilla 1.0, IE 6)
66
67 Usage: 1. review samhain.cgi (see remarks in file)
68 2. drop samhain.cgi, samhain.dtd, samhain.xsl in some
69 directory on your webserver
70 3. use .htaccess to protect access to that directory
71 4. point your browser at samhain.cgi
72
73 You may need to rename samhain.cgi to samhain.php if you use
74 mod_php. Also, you will certainly need to edit the path to the
75 logfile in samhain.cgi.
76
77 CAVEAT: There is no built-in access restriction (use .htaccess to
78 password-protect the directory).
79
80 The XSL stylesheet is based on a contribution by Olivier Salaun.
81
82
83samhain.spec: RPM spec file for building a vanilla single-host RPM
84------------
85
86 Contributed by Andre Oliveira da Costa <brblueser@uol.com.br>
87
88 This is a spec file to produce a vanilla single-host samhain RPM
89 (no fancy options, standard directory layout :).
90
91 Accepted parameters for 'rpmbuild':
92
93 --with gpg - enables gpg support
94 --with tests - make tests before building
95
96redhat_i386.client.spec: RPM spec file for building a RedHat client RPM
97------------
98
99 Contributed by Philipp Stadler <philipp@stadler.priv.at>

103
104samhain-scripts/ Administrative scripts by
105---------------- Simon Bailey <simon.bailey@uibk.ac.at> and
106 Michael Redinger <michael.redinger@uibk.ac.at>
107
108 You may need to adjust some of the variables in the
109 top lines of these scripts.
110
111 samhain.table.rotate.pl: Move old entries from mysql log table to a
112 backup table
113
114 samhain-admin: Interactive script to (1) clear log entries in SQL database,
115 (2) re-initialize file database of remote client, or (3) add
116 a new host.
117 This script requires that you are using samhains deploy
118 system (i.e. the deploy.sh script et al.).
119 Re-initialize will stop the daemon on the remote host,
120 create a temp dir for the database, run samhain -t init,
121 copy the database to the server, and clear the mysql log for
122 this host.
123
124 samhain.clearhost: Helper script for samhain-admin.
