Ok, so how do we make it happen?

Is Augeas an option?

This seems like the perfect opportunity to solidify the Augeas lenses
regarding security settings while making life easier for everyone.

    All,

    As a starting point for writing remediation fixes in the SSG - so,
    I did the following:

        $ ls ~//scap-security-guide/RHEL6/input/checks//*.xml | awk '{
    print $1 }' | sed s/\.[^\.]*$// > ~/checks
        $ ls ~//scap-security-guide/RHEL6/input/fixes//*.sh | awk '{
    print $1 }' | sed s/\.[^\.]*$// > ~/fixes
        $ sdiff ~/fixes ~/checks | less

    There's fair a bit of work to be done for the fix remediations...

    Since I'm new to the project, I was wondering if there was any
    ideas or standards to how the SSG should distribute some of these
    fixes - for example - a wholesale replacement of the audit.rules
    and auditd.conf might be preferable than doing piecemeal sed's.

    It'd be omgz easier to `cp /usr/share/doc/audit-*/stig.rules
    /etc/audit.rules`, and that likely is the right choice during an
    initial provisioning process. But then SysAdmins tailor audit rules,
    the system evolves, and we need to evaluate the audit.rules file
    against specific auditing guidance items after the pristine
    audit.rules template is manipulated.

    So, if a single rule must be remediated, we can't blow away the
    whole audit.rules file. Super fun sed scripts it is =/

<snip>

I think that augeas is a good idea.  We need to be careful that rules that are inserted in to audit.rules happen before any '-e 2' line (if one exists).  Otherwise they will fail to be inserted because the audit rules become locked.

Augeas and puppet would be great, their downside is they don't ship natively with RHEL :( Part of the goal is to enable the remediation with native tooling first. IMO, Augeas scripts would be *fantastic* for Aqueduct!
