SAMHAINRC(5) samhainrc manual SAMHAINRC(5) NAME samhainrc - samhain(8) configuration file WARNING The information in this man page is not always up to date. The author- itative documentation is the user manual. DESCRIPTION The configuration file for samhain(8) is named samhainrc and located in /etc by default. It contains several sections, indicated by headings in square brackets. Each section may hold zero or more key=value pairs. Blank lines and lines starting with '#' are comments. Everything before the first sec- tion and after an [EOF] is ignored. The file may be (clear text) signed by PGP/GnuPG, and samhain may invoke GnuPG to check the signature if compiled with support for it. Conditional inclusion of entries for some host(s) is supported via any number of @hostname/@end directives. @hostname and @end must each be on separate lines. Lines in between will only be read if hostname (which may be a regular expression) matches the local host. Likewise, conditional inclusion of entries based on system type is sup- ported via any number of $sysname:release:machine/$end directives. sysname:release:machine can be inferred from uname -srm and may be a regular expression. Filenames/directories to check may be wildcard patterns. Options given on the command line will override those in the configura- tion file. The recognized sections in the configuration file are as follows: Boolean options can be set with any of 1|true|yes or 0|false|no. [ReadOnly] This section may contain file=PATH and dir=[depth]PATH entries for files and directories to check. All modifications except access times will be reported for these files. [depth] (use without brackets) is an optional parameter to define a per-directory recursion depth. [LogFiles] As above, but modifications of timestamps, file size, and signa- ture will be ignored. [GrowingLogFiles] As above, but modifications of file size will only be ignored if the size has increased. [Attributes] As above, but only modifications of ownership and access permis- sions will be checked. [IgnoreAll] As above, but report no modifications for these files/directo- ries. Access failures will still be reported. [IgnoreNone] As above, but report all modifications for these files/directo- ries, including access time. [User0] [User1] [User2] [User3] [User4] These are reserved for user-defined policies. [Prelink] For prelinked executables / libraries or directories holding them. [Log] This section defines the filtering rules for logging. It may contain the following entries: MailSeverity=val where the threshold value val may be one of de- bug, info, notice, warn, mark, err, crit, alert, or none. By default, everything equal to and above the threshold will be logged. The specifiers *, !, and = are interpreted as 'all', 'all but', and 'only', respectively (like in the Linux version of syslogd(8)). Time stamps have the priority warn, sys- tem-level errors have the priority err, and important start-up messages the priority alert. The signature key for the log file will never be logged to syslog or the log file itself. For failures to verify file integrity, error levels are defined in the next section. PrintSeverity=val, LogSeverity=val, ExportSeverity=val, ExternalSeverity=val, PreludeSeverity=val, DatabaseSeverity=val, and SyslogSeverity=val set the thresholds for logging via stdout (or /dev/console), log file, TCP forwarding, calling external pro- grams, and syslog(3). [EventSeverity] SeverityReadOnly=val, SeverityLogFiles=val, SeverityGrowingLogs=val, SeverityIgnoreNone=val, SeverityIgnoreAll=val, SeverityPrelink=val, SeverityUser0=val, SeverityUser1=val, SeverityUser2=val, SeverityUser3=val, and SeverityUser4=val define the error levels for failures to verify the integrity of files/directories of the respective types. I.e. if such a file shows unexpected modifications, an error of level val will be generated, and logged to all facilities with a threshold of at least val. SeverityFiles=val sets the error level for file access problems, and SeverityDirs=val for directory access problems. SeverityNames=val sets the error level for obscure file names (e.g. non-printable characters), and for files with invalid UIDs/GIDs. [External] OpenCommand=path Start the definition of an external logging program|script. SetType=log|srv Type/purpose of program (log for logging). SetCommandline=list Command line options.

SeverityMountMissing=severity Severity for reports on missing mounts. SeverityOptionMissing=severity Severity for reports on missing mount options. CheckMount=path [mount_options] Mount point to check. Mount options must be given as comma-sepa- rated list, separated by a blank from the preceding mount point. [UserFiles] Configuration for checking paths relative to user home directo- ries. UserFilesActive=0|1 Switch off/on this module. UserFilesName=filename policy Files to check for under each $HOME. Allowed values for 'policy' are: allignore, attributes, logfiles, loggrow, noignore (de- fault), readonly, user0, user1, user2, user3, and user4. UserFilesCheckUids=uid_list A list of UIDs where we want to check. The default is all. Ranges (e.g. 100-500) are allowed. If there is an open range (e.g. 1000-), it must be last in the list.

Nn may be hex (leading '0x': 0xNN), octal (leading zero: 0NNN), or decimal. Use all for all. FilenamesAreUTF8=yes|no Whether filenames are UTF-8 encoded (de- faults to no).

DigestAlgo=SHA1|MD5 Use SHA1 or MD5 instead of the TIGER check- sum (default: TIGER192). RedefReadOnly=+/-XXX,+/-YYY,... Add or subtract tests XXX from the ReadOnly policy. Tests are: CHK (checksum), TXT (store lit- eral content), LNK (link), HLN (hardlink), INO (inode), USR (user), GRP (group), MTM (mtime), ATM (atime), CTM (ctime), SIZ (size), RDEV (device numbers) and/or MOD (file mode).

Server Only SetUseSocket=yes|no If unset, do not open the command socket. The default is no. SetSocketAllowUid=UID Which user can connect to the command socket. The default is 0 (root). SetSocketPassword=password Password (max. 14 chars, no '@') for password-based authentication on the command socket (only if the OS does not support passing credentials via sockets). SetChrootDir=path If set, chroot to this directory after startup. SetStripDomain=yes|no Whether to strip the domain from the client hostname when logging client messages (default: yes). SetClientFromAccept=true|false If true, use client address as known to the communication layer. Else (default) use client name as claimed by the client, try to verify against the address known to the communication layer, and accept (with a warning message) even if this fails. UseClientSeverity=yes|no Use the severity of client messages. UseClientClass=yes|no Use the class of client messages. SetServerPort=number The port that the server should use for listening (default is 49777). SetServerInterface=IPaddress The IP address (i.e. interface on multi-interface box) that the server should use for listening (default is all). Use INADDR_ANY to reset to all. SeverityLookup=severity Severity of the message on client ad- dress != socket peer. UseSeparateLogs=true|false If true, messages from different clients will be logged to separate log files (the name of the client will be appended to the name of the main log file to con- struct the logfile name). SetClientTimeLimit=seconds The maximum time between client mes- sages. If exceeded, a warning will be issued (the default is 86400 sec = 1 day). SetUDPActive=yes|no yule 1.2.8+: Also listen on 514/udp (sys- log). [Clients] This section is only relevant if samhain is run as a log server for clients running on another (or the same) machine. Client=hostname@salt@verifier registers a client at host host- name (fully qualified hostname required) for access to the log server. Log entries from unregistered clients will not be ac- cepted. To generate a salt and a valid verifier, use the com- mand samhain -P password, where password is the password of the client. A simple utility program samhain_setpwd is provided to re-set the compiled-in default password of the client executable to a user-defined value. [EOF] An optional end marker.
