Specify Directories for Checklist Task: CKLISTPATH

The system files check checks attributes of files in selected system directories. You define which directories to check by using these checklist path environment variables:

• CKLISTPATH_LOW

• CKLISTPATH_MED

• CKLISTPATH_HIGH

The CKLISTPATH_LOW variable defines the directories to be checked at the low security level. CKLISTPATH_MED and CKLISTPATH_HIGH environment variables function similarly for the medium and high security levels.

The directory list defined by a variable at a lower security level should be a subset of the directory list defined at the next higher level. For example, all directories specified for CKLISTPATH_LOW should be included in CKLISTPATH_MED, and all the directories specified for CKLISTPATH_MED should be included in CKLISTPATH_HIGH.

Checks performed on these directories are not recursive; ASET only checks those directories explicitly listed in the variable. It does not check their subdirectories.

You can edit these variable definitions to add or delete directories that you want ASET to check. Note that these checklists are useful only for system files that do not normally change from day to day. A user's home directory, for example, is generally too dynamic to be a candidate for a checklist.
