Backup report

System Expert can be configured to perform daily backups of all or selected file systems to a single tape. A summary of the backup performed is included in the report section illustrated below. Backup failures are reported separately in an Urgent report section.

Example:

    1          backup   good hd4             /
    2          backup   good hd1             /home

Checksum changes - URGENT

This report section provides information on checksum changes to selectable files. This information is very useful for identifying and analysing changes that occurred should an unexpected security breach have taken place. The information is valuable to the security analyst and system administrator reponsible for maintaining the security, integrity and optimal operation of the business system.

NFS imports which trust setuid and setgid

Permitting NFS supplied setuid or setgid programs to run on your local machine could result in a security breach on your system. All setuid and setgid programs should therefore be monitored closely for any changes and possible security exposures. System Expert detects when setuid and setgid programs are permitted from NFS imported file systems and generates a non urgent warning message as illustrated below.

Example:
Remote        Remote                      Local

Mountpoint and device file security - Urgent

This report section provides information on other-writable mountpoint directories and devices that are other-readable or other-writabale. This information is valuable to the security analyst and system administrator responsible for resolving the security vulnerabilities introduced by these access permissions.

Example:

Symbolic links, targets missing

System Expert may find symbolic links which do not respond. These unresolved requests for information indicate the systems' inability to access the intended data. The link may no longer be needed or may have been removed maliciously or accidentally. An unresolved request for information through a symbolic link to an NFS filesystem may indicate network congestion. Any symbolic link which does not respond to the Monitor's request is classified as Urgent.

Example:

 Monitor Montior    Expert    Expert   Expert
   Found   Limit     Limit  Suppress  Display

       1      50       100         0        1
