|
|
.Pa /etc/daily ,
|
|
on a
|
|
.Nx
|
|
system, if configured do to so from
|
|
.Pa /etc/daily.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The variables described below can be set to "NO" to disable the test:

|
.It Sy check_rootdotfiles
|
|
This checks the root users startup files for sane settings of $PATH

|
file.
|

This checks for security problems in the
|

|
|
.Pa /var/mail ,
|
|
and that the mail box has the right permissions.
|
|

|
This checks for changes to devices and setuid files.
|
|
.It Sy check_mtree
|
|
This runs
|
|
.Xr mtree 8
|
|
to ensure that the system is installed correctly.
|
|
The following configuration files are checked:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Pa /etc/mtree/special
|
|
Default files to check.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/mtree/special.local
|
|
Local site additions.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/mtree/DIR.secure
|
|
Specification for the directory
|
|
.Pa DIR .
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Sy check_disklabels
|
|
Backup text copies of the disklabels of available disk drives into
|
|
.Pa /var/backups/work/disklabel.XXX ,
|
|
and display any differences in those and the previous copies
|
|
as per
|
|
.Sy check_changelist
|
|
below.
|
|
If
|
|
.Xr fdisk 8
|
|
is available on the current platform, the output of
|
|
.Pa /sbin/fdisk
|
|
for each available disk drive is stored in
|
|
.Pa /var/backups/work/fdisk.XXX ,
|
|
and any differences displayed as per the disklabels.
|
|
.It Sy check_pkgs
|
|
This stores a list of all installed pkgs into
|
|
.Pa /var/backups/work/pkgs
|
|
and checks it for any changes.
|
|
.It Sy check_changelist
|
|
This determines a list of files from the contents of
|
|
.Pa /etc/changelist ,
|
|
and the output of

.Ic mtree -D
|
|
for
|
|
.Pa /etc/mtree/special
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/mtree/special.local .
|
|
For each file in the list it compares the files with their backups in
|
|
.Pa /var/backups/file.current
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /var/backups/file.backup ,
|
|
and displays any differences found.
|
|
The following
|
|
.Xr mtree 8
|
|
.Sy tags
|
|
modify how files are determined from
|
|

|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/mtree/special.local :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width exclude -offset indent
|
|
.It exclude
|
|
The entry is ignored; no backups are made and the differences are not
|
|
displayed.
|
|
This includes dynamic or binary files such as
|
|
.Pa /var/run/utmp .
|
|
.It 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
|
|
.Pa /etc/master.passwd .
|
|
.El
|
|
.El

|
During the
|
|
.Sy check_mtree
|
|
phase, instruct mtree to follow symbolic links.
|
|
.It Sy check_passwd_nowarn_shells
|
|

|
|
.Sy check_passwd
|
|

|
|
is encouraged, instead.
