2001-02-25 Ron Forrester <rjf@theforrest.org> * Bumped version to 2.3.1. * BSD support, thanks to Paul Herman <pherman@frenchfries.net>. The support was added for FreeBSD 4.2, your mileage may vary on other BSD's. * Fixed long standing bug with recurse=3 * If TEMPDIRECTORY was missing trailing /, bad things could happen. Tripwire now appends a / if one isn't present. Thanks Jarno. * Fixed GLOBALEMAIL bug where no global emails would be sent unless there were emailto attributes somewhere in the policy file. Additionally, reports were being sliced to global recipients, despite the fact that global recipients should get the full report. 2001-02-03 Ron Forrester <rjf@theforrest.org> * Fixed possible security problem with the handling of temp files. We now open temp files with O_EXCL set to make sure a particular file doesn't already exist. Thanks to Jarno for this suggestion and help via a patch. * Added the configuration file variable TEMPDIRECTORY. This variable can be set to the full path to where tripwire should write its temporary files. By default it is /tmp. Because /tmp has to be world writable, this isn't a good place for tripwire to write temporary files. Setting TEMPDIRECTORY to a directory with permissions 700 is much more secure. Updated man page with info on this variable. * Added the configuration file variable GLOBALEMAIL. This variable can be set to a list of email addresses which are semi-colon or comma separated. If a report is about to be emailed to addresses reaped from the policy file, it will also be emailed to the addresses in the GLOBALEMAIL list, allowing designation of one or more people to always get email reports. Updated the man page with info on this variable. * Began a convention of providing a "Solution:" line to all errors (exceptions) emitted by tripwire. Only the two latest error messages incorporate this convention, but all future ones will as well, and I hope to revist all current errors and retrofit them with Solution: lines as well.
