Default fresh install require file flags schg assigned to dir or files?

Hello All:

Would it be a good idea to assign schg to any files or direcotries after a fresh install of 5.0 to ensure they aren't mistakingly or intentionally altered? Also do most admins set up Tripwire on fresh installs?

Thanks,
Darryl

As a matter of practice, I don't. I take scheduled backups, track changes to etc and var with devel/git, and pay attention to security (8) logs.

Consider the operational impact of repair to a file in the event of a problem. You'll have to stop all apps and drop to single user mode at the very least.

Default Thanks jggimi

I've never heard of git, will have to review this and see how I can use it our environment. Thanks again for the excellent feedback.

Like CVS, used with OpenBSD source and the Project's web pages, git is a version control system. I chose it for /etc and /var because unlike CVS, it manages file modes and ownerships, which are needed. It is far more powerful, but I'm not using that power.

I first used git with Android kernel and userland. I found the http://gitimmersion.com/ tutorial very helpful.

A couple of other useful git references are:The general homepage has a lot of goodies which are worth poking through. There are a number of books out on git, but personally, I find the Chacon book the best. It is more in-depth than most.
