OVAL Results
Been hacking on the OVAL results code today. The first task was to clean up the hard coded values. Next I started working on the system_info section of the results XML. One of the things I need to have do is get a list of interfaces on a machine and collect the interface name, ip [...]
Validating OVAL XML
Been working on trying to have Sussen validate OVAL XML definition files. This should have been pretty straightforward: public static void ValidateEventHandler (object sender, ValidationEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine (“Bad stuff happened”); Console.WriteLine (e.Exception.Message); Console.WriteLine (e.Exception.LineNumber); Console.WriteLine (“Severity:{0}”, e.Severity); } public static void Validate () { XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader (filename); XmlValidatingReader vr = new [...]
Sussen.Oval.Unix
Renamed the assembly Sussen.Oval.Redhat to Sussen.Oval.Unix this morning. Started on two new tests (TextFileContent and XmlFileContent) which are needed for Debian and Solaris support. I was going to start on the Shadow test but reading the Mono.Unix docs showed it doesn’t support the shadow(3) functions. I vaguely recall running into something like this before Looks [...]
Man pages and OVAL
Checked in some minor work into the code repository today. The first thing was to add a –help option to the agent, server and client so you can find out the command line options. Along those lines I also wrote the initial man pages too. In OVAL news, I’ve been tinkering on support for Debian [...]

Looks better than the last beta where I needed ugly registry hacks to install the driver. You can download the drivers from viaarena.com. [...]
LAT v0.5.3
