hello,
i set up a box with netbsd 5.0 amd64. there are no X-components installed,
therefore the files /etc/rc.d/xdm and /etc/rc.d/xfs are missing. so
security checks from /etc/daily always claim:
Checking special files and directories.
missing: ./etc/rc.d/xdm
missing: ./etc/rc.d/xfs
because of this part from man security.conf(5):
The following mtree(8) tags modify how files are determined from
/etc/mtree/special and /etc/mtree/special.local:
exclude The entry is ignored; no backups are made
and the differences are not displayed.
This includes dynamic or binary files such
as /var/run/utmp.
nodiff The entry is backed up but the differences
are not displayed because the contents of
the file are sensitive. This includes
files such as /etc/master.passwd.
i tried to block the check of those files by adding the following two lines
to /etc/mtree/special.local:
./etc/rc.d/xdm type=file mode=0555 tags=exclude
./etc/rc.d/xfs type=file mode=0555 tags=exclude
but this does not change anything. is there a way to get rid of the check
for those files beside deleting the appropriate lines from
/etc/mtree/special?
I added
./etc/rc.d/xdm type=file mode=0555 optional
./etc/rc.d/xfs type=file mode=0555 optional
to /etc/mtree/special.local
