NAME

       lsat - a security auditing tool

SYNOPSIS

       lsat  [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       Linux Security Auditing Tool (LSAT) is a post install security auditing tool. It is
       modular in design, so new features can be added quickly. It checks inetd entries and scans
       for unneeded RPM packages. It is being expanded to work with Linux distributions other
       than Red Hat, and checks for kernel versions.

       Output is in lsat.out.  On subsequent runs, previous output is in lsat.old.

OPTIONS

       -d
               diff current and old md5 runs, output in lsatmd5.diff

       -m <distribution>      Force a specific distribution test      Names are: redhat, debian,
       mandrake, solaris, gentoo

       -h      Show LSAT help

       -a
               Show LSAT advanced help

       -o <filename>      Output filename, default is last.out

       -r      Check rpm integrity. RedHat or Mandrake only.

       -s      Be silent. No output at all.

       -x <filename>
               Filename is a text file consisting of modules to
               exclude from being run. This should be a comma,
               tab or newline delimited file, with just the name(s)
               below one wishes to exclude.
