Overview

This manual page briefly documents briefly BastilleBackEnd .

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

BastilleBackEnd implements all the changes configured previously by using InteractiveBastille or AutomatedBastille based on the appropiate configuration file.

Options

BastilleBackEnd uses the following options:

-v

Verbose mode. Actions are printed to the logs and to STDOUT.

-l

Log-only mode. No action is taken; merely logs what changes would have been made.

-r PREFIX

All the filenames are prefixed with PREFIX (/etc/whatever becomes /PREFIX/etc/whatever). This option could be used to commit changes to NFS filesystems, or file systems with a different mount point than the current root (/) filesystem.

Files

/etc/Bastille/config

Configuration file which defines all the security measures selected by the administrator to be enabled.

/var/log/Bastille/action-log
/var/log/Bastille/error-log

Logs that hold information of actions taken on the system. /var/log/Bastille/undo/

Directory holding all information for the undo operation.
