RFC 3.3.0 is filesystems software developed by Claudio Panichi.
RFC (Remote Filesystem Checker) is a set of scripts that aims to help System-Administrators run a filesystem-checker (like tripwire, aide and so on...) from a "master-node" to several "slave-nodes" using ssh, scp, sudo and few other common shell commands.

Here are some key features of "RFC":

  • crate/update FileSystem-Checker's (FSC) database
  • execute FSC and create a log-report
  • allow parallel execution, mass-check and mass-upgrade!
  • support non-interactive operations
  • use scp/ssh for all connections
  • use an arbitrary port for ssh/scp connections (may be different for each host!)
  • send (ONE) email to administrator(s)
  • rotate logs, databases and other files
  • support for AFICK, AIDE and INTEGRIT FileSystem-Checkers
  • check users creation/removal
  • check group creation/removal
  • check if someone changes UID, GID or shell
  • check for group's members or ID changes
  • check for SUID/SGID on remote host via a separate PERL script
  • check if remote-host is up before run checks on it (via nmap)
  • kill the processes that take too long (you can set an arbitrary timeout value)

    Requirements:
  • bash on any (?) posix system
  • base utils (chown, chmod, adduser, sed, grep...)
  • a mail program ("mail" itself is great)
  • nmap on master node
  • ssh/scp client & ssh-keygen on master-node
  • ssh/scp server on slave-nodes
  • sudo on slave-nodes

    What's New in This Release:
  • A new function that replaces the "seq" command, which is not available on all systems. A fix for a small bug that caused a "cp: missing destination file" error. A fix for an error that caused RFC to suggest a bad "sudo" setup.
  • A new function to check whether a node is alive without the "nmap" requirement.
  • "/lib" is included in all default configuration files for the filesystem checkers (afick, aide, and integrit).
  • AFICK has been updated to version 2.8-2.
  • The documentation reflects the latest changes.
    RFC 3.3.0 supports english interface languages and works with Linux.
