Hi, I'm Jared Jennings. I work under contract as an admin at the US Air Force SEEK
EAGLE Office (AFSEO). Engineers here deal with the problem of aircraft-store
compatibility, where "store" means "something you put on the
aircraft," like a missile, bomb or fuel tank. There's lots of modelling and
simulation going on here, on Windows, Linux and Mac workstations, and Linux HPC clusters.
I make the Linux and Mac stuff compliant with STIGs, and document the compliance.
So I've built CMITS (Configuration Management for IT Systems), out of Puppet, LaTeX
and Python. Folks with DoD certificates can check it out from
<
https://software.forge.mil/svn/repos/dodpuppet/cmits-release>. Besides configuring
RHEL5, RHEL6 and Snow Leopard hosts, it builds documentation that answers the questions,
"Do we have everything covered? How are we complying with requirement X? Why are we
not complying with requirement Y? Requirement Z says something should be written down;
where is it?"
Now, RHEL7 is out. Dave and Gunnar have been going on about it for months
<
http://dgshow.org/>. I want to run it. But I need a STIG to comply with. And here
is a community where I can help build such a thing. Hello, community!
