Format of ASET Report Files

Each report file is named after the task that generates the report. The following table lists tasks and their reports.

Table 7–1 ASET Tasks and Resulting Reports


Tasks	Report
System files permissions tuning (`tune`)	`tune.rpt`
System files checks (`cklist`)	`cklist.rpt`
User and group checks (`usrgrp`)	`usrgrp.rpt`
System configuration files check (`sysconf`)	`sysconf.rpt`
Environment variables check (`env`)	`env.rpt`
`eeprom` check (`eeprom`)	`eeprom.rpt`
Firewall setup (`firewall`)	`firewall.rpt`

Within each report file, messages are bracketed by a beginning and an ending banner line. Sometimes, a task ends prematurely. For example, a task can end prematurely when a component of ASET is accidentally removed or damaged. In such cases, the report file usually contains a message near the end that indicates the reason for the premature termination.

The following is a sample report file, usrgrp.rpt.
