Periodically, I do a git merge with upstream and test the result against my system. Most of the time, things get better, but occasionally, something breaks. Here's my list of broken stuff:
Rule world_writeable_files:Now scans /proc and shows thousands of files from /proc/#/attr/<file> with permissions 777.
Rule package_openswan_installed: Yum tells me that I have libreswan installed, which obsoletes openswan. Is downgrading to openswan really required, and why?
Rule world_writable_files_system_ownership:Now finding /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.ICE-unix where it did not before. What's the right way to address this? Why are these 777 anyway?
Rule accounts_max_concurrent_login_sessions:Broken regular expressions, I may get to a patch for this one, something like (if I can ever figure out gmail's formatting!)
