Wow, that's a great list. However, I am (slightly) worried about high
speed copy-paste from the RHEL 5 SNAC guide into the project.
A few quick notes:
1)
If a section seems to have been completed previously (by me) but
something is oddly missing, ask. There may be reasons some things were
not moved.
2)
If there is a section in the SNAC guide that is instructive but which
cannot possibly have an OVAL check (such as for BIOS settings), just put
the information into an XCCDF Group. Later, we can create OCIL content
to handle things that will absolutely require manual inspection (or
relate to policy/procedures).
Similarly, if a section has discussed doing something that is
necessary/relevant but on its own is really a configuration action (and
not a security setting), such as installing some network service, this
should be in an XCCDF Group and not a Rule. Rules are only for
compliance checking. For example, I don't think we need to verify that
httpd is installed, even if a system is being evaluated against a web
server profile (and please let's save the "value of checking for
packaged vs unpackaged software" discussion for another time).
3)
In general, please try to perform a positive and negative test for each
item. I'd really appreciate one round of QA prior to a commit/push.
4)
Feel free to reorganize if you can improve on the original logical
structure (but ask the list if it's significant).
And of course, everything's negotiable. But these were some of my
personal guidelines when committing content earlier, and I think they
will serve us well.

Hey all,
I've done a quick review of the SSG as far as were we stand in
comparison milestone 1 objectives. We are missing roughly 195/634 or
about 31% of the line items needed to meet milestone 1. The exact line
items missing are specified in the attached. I've opened tickets for
each piece up on the SSG site
(
https://fedorahosted.org/scap-security-guide/report/2). If your working
on a section it would be great if you took the ticket so we can try and
avoid duplication of effort where possible.
Thanks,
Kevin Spargur
