Hello,

       Just checking on the latest master, this is appearing to fail because the 'make templates' generates a file permission OVAL check for grub that is not in the XCCDF. The offending xml file is file_permissions_boot_grub_grub_conf.xml which if you `rm file_permissions_boot_grub_grub_conf.xml`. A bug issue can be filed here if so desired: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/issues

Just reading through the README doc under the templates directory, generally, you do not want to blindly run `make copy` as some of the checks most likely have been intentionally edited to add additional checks. Usually building from source, `make && make validate` (under the scap-security-guide or RHEL/6 directories) work best if you are just building from the latest source to run a scan. It just depends on what you are attempting to do. Are you generating OVAL content, or .....?

Hello Everyone,

I'm hoping you can help put me out of my misery!

I've taken the latest version of scap-security-guide

# git clone https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/scap-security-guide.git

And I've been trying to run "make content; make validate" on the RHEL/6 directory...

... if I do a fresh git clone and run it, it is successful and the validate completes ok.

...if i first go into the RHEL/6/input/checks/templates directory and run "make templates; make copy" ....and then run the "make content; make validate" it fails:

paul@myhost:/tmp/ssg3/scap-security-guide/RHEL/6> make validate
oscap xccdf validate-xml output/ssg-rhel6-xccdf.xml
oscap oval validate-xml output/ssg-rhel6-oval.xml
oscap oval validate-xml output/ssg-rhel6-cpe-oval.xml
cd output; ../utils/verify-references.py --rules-with-invalid-checks --ovaldefs-unused ssg-rhel6-xccdf.xml
/tmp/ssg3/scap-security-guide/RHEL/6/output
OVAL Check is not referenced by XCCDF: oval:ssg:def:556
make: *** [validate] Error 1

...this is a bug of some kind right?

Thanks!

Paul
