Format of ASET Report Files

Each report file is named after the task that generates it. See the following table for a list of tasks and their reports.

Table 8–1 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 terminates prematurely; for example, 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.

*** Begin User and Group Checking ***
