NAME

     sxid.conf — configuration settings for sXid

DESCRIPTION

     This is the configuration file used by sXid to define it's parameters for execution. By default it is
     /etc/sxid.conf but can be anything using the --config command line option for sXid.

     Options in this file are in the form of

     OPTION = "VALUE"

     Note that the VALUE must be contained in double quotes.

OPTIONS

     ALWAYS_NOTIFY
             If sXid does not find any changes it will not send an email unless you specify "yes" here.

     ALWAYS_ROTATE
             Usually sXid will only rotate the log files when there is a change from the last run. This is
             usually best, since all logs will record a change rather than just a run of the program. If you
             want to rotate the logs every time sXid is run, regardless of changes, specify "yes" here.

     EMAIL   Where to send the email containing the output of changes every time sXid is run. Example:

             EMAIL = "System Administrator <sysadmin@example.com>"

     ENFORCE
             Normally sXid only flags items which are suid or sgid and are in a FORBIDDEN directory. With this
             option set to "yes" sXid will remove the s[ug]id bit(s) on any files or directories it finds in
             forbidden directories and report any changes in the email. Note that directories listed in
             FORBIDDEN are searched regardless of whether or not they are listed in SEARCH.  However, EXCLUDE
             option still apply to directories that fall under them.

     EXCLUDE
             A space separated list of directories to exclude from the search. Note that if a SEARCH path falls
             under an EXCLUDE path that it will still be searched. This is useful for excluding whole
             directories and only specifying one. Example:

             SEARCH  = "/usr /usr/src/linux"
             EXCLUDE = "/usr/src"

     EXTRA_LIST
             File that contains a list of (each on it's own line)  of other files that sXid should monitor. This
             is useful for files that aren't +s, but relate to system integrity (tcpd, inetd, apache...).
             Example:

             EXTRA_LIST = "/etc/sxid.list"

     FORBIDDEN
             A space separated list of directories that are not supposed to contain any suid or sgid items.
             Items which are suid or sgid in these directories are flagged in the email separately from the
             other listings whether there are other changes or not. Example:

             FORBIDDEN = "/tmp /home"

     IGNORE_DIRS
             Ignore entries for directories in these paths. This means that only files will be recorded. You can
             effectively ignore all directory entries by setting this to "/".

     KEEP_LOGS
             This is a numerical value for how many log files to keep when rotating.

     LISTALL
             Forces a list of all entries to be included in th output. Implies ALWAYS_NOTIFY.

     LOG_FILE
             The full path of where to store the log files. These will be rotated, each rotated log being
             suffixed with a digit. The directories must already exist.  This is usually /var/log/sxid.log.
             Rotated logs would look like /var/log/sxid.log.n where “n” is the number in the rotation. The
             current log has no suffix.

     MAIL_PROG
             Mail program. This changes the default compiled in mailer for reports. You only need this if you
             have changed it's location and don't want to recompile sXid.

     SEARCH  A space separated list of directories to search.  sXid will use these as a starting point for it's
             searches. Example:

             SEARCH = "/usr /bin /lib"
