  * No source change upload to rebuild on buildd with .buildinfo files.

 -- Holger Levsen <holger@debian.org>  Fri, 01 Jan 2021 19:17:53 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.16+nmu1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Use "find -perm /x" instead of "find -perm +x". Closes: #731944

 -- Andreas Metzler <ametzler@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Dec 2015 14:06:01 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.16) unstable; urgency=medium

  * plugins/check-setuid: Prevent error from find by putting
    -ignore_readdir_race as first option (Closes: 714152)
  * plugins/check-iptables-logs, man/check-iptables-logs.8: Add new plugin to
    check for iptables logs and provide information of attacked ports,
    blacklisted hosts (using fail2ban), etc.
  * etc/global-checksecurity.conf: Add information for the new plugin, this is 
    disabled by default (as systems might not have iptables configured and,
    even if enabled, there might not be a log target)
  * man/{check-diskfree.8,check-passwd.8,check-setuid.8}: Clarify that these
    plugins are written to be run by checksecurity. Some of the plugins might 
    not work if missing some environment variables (which are defined by
    checksecurity)
  * man/checksecurity.8: Add a reference to the new plugin check-iptables-logs
  * debian/control: Improve the package description with the recommendations
    made by Justin B Rye (Closes: #688070) 
  * debian/control: Add debsecan to the Recommends, this provides notification
    of vulnerabilities in the system and security updates (Closes: #253097)
  * etc/check-setuid.conf: Exclude more filesystems for the setuid checks as
    are system based filesystems
  * debian/po/tr.po: Add Turkish translation provided by Mert Dirik 
    (Closes: #759874)

 -- Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>  Sat, 21 Feb 2015 15:35:45 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.15) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix bug in the CS_NFSAFS definition in etc/check-setuid.conf that prevents
    the script from matching any filesystem. This bug was, actually, making the
    script not do anything in the default configuration. (Closes: 724687)

    Thanks go to Alessandro Vesely for spotting this bug and providing a fix.

  * debian/control: Adjust the maintainer's name

 -- Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>  Sat, 28 Sep 2013 23:31:59 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * plugins/check-setuid:
       - Integrate changes to from Ubuntu to make use of ionice when calling
         find. (Closes: #578640)
       - Use the -ignore_readdir_race option when calling find to avoid
         error messages when encountering stale files (Closes: #583809)
  * etc/global-checksecurity.conf: Adjust comments associated to  
    CHECKSECURITY_EMAIL to point to bsd-mailx instead of mailx and 
    remove reference to cron. (Closes: #541636)
  * debian/control: Depend on util-linux (>= 2.15~rc1-1) which provides
    ionice.
  * debian/compat: Change from 4 to 5
  * debian/rules: Adjust calls to dh_clean

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@debian.org>  Wed, 27 Oct 2010 23:44:51 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.13ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Matt Zimmerman ]
  * plugins/check-setuid: Use ionice to set idle I/O scheduling priority for
    find(1) across the whole filesystem.

  [ James Westby ]
  * plugins/check-setuid: Use the -t option to ionice so that failures to set
    I/O priority don't stop the command running.
    - Depend on util-linux (>= 2.15~rc1-1) to ensure the feature is available.
    - Thanks Colin Watson.

 -- James Westby <james.westby@ubuntu.com>  Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:45:42 +0100


checksecurity (2.0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Do not report 'disk full' for filesystems mounted under /media.
    This includes the cdrom as well as possibly some other removal
    media like USB memories. Thanks to Tim Connors for
    detecting this bug and providing a patch (Closes: #514306)
  * Add some information in the both check-setuid's manpage and the
    configuration file related to false positives generated from /dev changes
    when a system is rebooted (due to changes in timestamps). And provide
    instructions on how to remove them.
  * Extend check-socket to make it possible to exclude certain lines from
    the output through the CHECKSECURITY_IGNORELINES variable. 
    (Closes: #522749)
  * Added the 'lustre' filesystem to the network filesystem list in
    the default check-setuid.conf (Closes: #502421)
  * Change Makefile to include etc/check-socket.conf in the package.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@debian.org>  Tue, 26 May 2009 01:14:49 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix bug in plugins/check_sockets which prevented it from being 
    actually useful. Thanks to Richard Kapolnai for detecting this
    bug and providing a patch. (Closes: #520654)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@debian.org>  Sat, 21 Mar 2009 23:46:07 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Debconf Translation changes:

    - Fixed "Project-Id-Version" field in Japanese translation

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@debian.org>  Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:47:07 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove chrony from the list of Depends: since it does not actually provide
    a task scheduler, change it to fcron (Closes: #478203, #479661)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:46:50 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * The "where did I leave my head release"
  * Acknowledge the 2.0.7-10.1 NMU, the updated PO files from some languages
    had not been included in the 2.0.7 release
  * Do not search fuse filesystems by default (Closes: #467299)
  * Lintian fix: remove debian/files from source (Closes: 451054)
  * Allow users to select cron facility by depending on cron | anacron |
    chrony (Closes: 375058)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@debian.org>  Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:09:03 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make it (again) a Debian native package.
  * Add a new check-sockets plugin to check for open sockets. Default
    configuration will run this daily.
  * Modify check-setuid so that the changes are actually preserved
    (no .changes file were getting generated)
  * Change the logrotate definition so that it will not rotate empty files.
  * Introduce a /var/log/checksecurity/ where all the new plugin logs
    will get saved to. Preserve /var/log/setuid for the time being
    (but it should be moved there)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Tue, 08 May 2007 01:01:34 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.7-11) unstable; urgency=low

  * New translations:
    - Galician translation provided by Jacobo Tarrio (Closes: #413460)
    - Italian translation provided by Luca Monducci (Closes: #418173)
  * Have etc/check-setuid.conf default LOGDIR point to /var/log/setuid
  * Consistent use of email alerts:
    - Move the CHECKSECURITY_EMAIL configuration file over to the global
      checksecurity configuration file as more than one script will use this.
      (check-setuid and check-diskfree at least)
    - Make checksecurity preserve the CHECKSECURITY_EMAIL environment variable
      for all plugins unless redefined in the plugin configuration file.
    - Make check-diskfree use CHECKSECURITY_EMAIL (instead of MAILTO) to
      mail the results of the diskfree check to the defined user. 
     (Closes: #232951)
  * Remove CHECKSECURITY_GREPOUT definition from check-setuid 
    (Closes: #334435)

checksecurity (2.0.7-10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Clean up all logfiles on purge as required by policy.
  * Modified checksecurity.weekly to use its own lockfile and fix the
    error message. We should not be using the same lockfile as

    (Closes: #326871)
  * Use debhelper compatibility version 4
  * Fixed FSF address in debian/copyright
  * Updated the debian/copyright file with new authors

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Wed, 21 Sep 2005 00:43:14 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.7-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added dependancies for "| debconf-2.0" as requested by Joey Hess

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Thu,  4 Aug 2005 19:08:46 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.7-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Prevent the setuid checks from traversing AFS filesystems under
    /vicep (Closes: #320407)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Mon,  1 Aug 2005 21:25:16 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.7-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added Vietnamese debconf translation provided by Clytie Siddall (Closes: #309632)
  * Recommend logwatch as an alternative to logcheck (Closes: #315019)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sat,  9 Jul 2005 15:43:04 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.7-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Checksecurity checks if you are root (effective uid) before running and
    so does the check-passwd plugin too.
  * Proper GPL header to the checksecurity program as well as to all of
    the plugins.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Thu,  7 Apr 2005 09:28:24 +0200

checksecurity (2.0.7-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added new configuration files to the conffiles definition (lintian
    error)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Tue, 22 Mar 2005 02:25:20 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.7-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use proper user for the logrotation facility (Closes: #299896) 

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Thu, 17 Mar 2005 09:24:44 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.7-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix postinst's check for files so that the return code is always
    true, have the script run with -e and add also an 'exit 0'
    return status in any case. (Closes: #299811)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Thu, 17 Mar 2005 01:19:29 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.7-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Adopted package (Closes: #298573) 
  * Have the check_diskfree plugin mail to root the results of the test, if
    defined. Notice that the environment is currently cleaned up so that
    it will not work yet properly. This is the patch available in #232951
  * Fixed the formatting issue in the  check-setuid.8 manpage with the
    patch provided by Nicolas Francois (Closes: #274428)
  * Fixed the reference to checksecurity.conf in bin/checksecurity, the
    message now refers to checksecurity(8) (Closes: #276950)
  * Create /var/log/setuid with proper permissions (750), also, move the 
    files in postinst through a loop checking first if they exist 
    (Closes: #297691)
  * Rotate /var/log/setuid.changes, /var/log/diskfree.log and
    /var/log/checksecurity.log through logrotate instead of having this in
    the cron task, use dh_installlogrotate to install this.
  * Add Getopt::Long usage to bin/checksecurity and define a debug (-d or
    --debug option) (currently undocumented)
  * Introduce a 'period' argument in checksecurity (currently undocumented)
    which determines what checks should it run:
     - Modify global-checksecurity.conf so that diskfree and passwd checks
       are run daily and setuid is run weekly
     - Create a new checksecurity-weekly cron task that will run setuid
    This closes two long-standing bugs since users can adjust the 
    configuration now to their needs. (Closes: #138484, #31902)
  * Recommend: Tiger, logcheck, and integrity checkers, also
    suggest some programs to check if newer packages are available, 
    as bug #163813 has not been closed yet. 
    This is an interim solution in order to warn users that
    there are more (advanced) security checks available they might want
    to implement in addition to checksecurity.
  * Added Czech po-debconf translation provided by Jan Outrata 
    (Closes: #291576)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Fri, 11 Mar 2005 08:46:43 +0100

  * Removed obsolete documentation and support for CHECKSECURITY_DISABLE.
    This is handled in checksecurity.conf now.
  * Updated version number.
  * Switched to a non-Debian native package.
  * Avoid searching for setuid files on filesystems of type shfs and lufs.
    (Closes: #272402)
  * Place all the setuid logfiles in /var/log/setuid instead of /var/log.
    Move existing files into place on upgrade.
    (Closes: #164665)  (Closes: #59809)
  * Added the German debconf translation.
    (Closes: #250944) Thanks to Erik Schanze.

 -- Steve Kemp <skx@debian.org>  Mon, 20 Sep 2004 22:04:11 +0000
	
checksecurity (2.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Respect the NMU from Javier, much appreciated.
  * Cause the cronjob to terminate quietly if checksecurity doesnt exist.
    (Closes: #240462)
  * Included cifs in the list of network filesystems to ignore.
    (Closes: #268058)

 -- Steve Kemp <skx@debian.org>  Fri, 17 Sep 2004 22:02:58 +0000

checksecurity (2.0.5.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU fixing bugs introduced in previous NMU (approved by maintainer)
    - Preinst now sorts /var/log/setuid.today before the upgrade 
      (Closes: #239340)
    - Check_setuid does not guard against CHECKSECURITY_EMAIL being
      undefined since it's disabled per default (Closes: #239336)
    - Introduced an alternative fix for the Arla partitions and
      add new arla type 'nnpfs' and 'binfmt_misc' (Closes: #239314)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Mon, 22 Mar 2004 14:26:13 +0100

checksecurity (2.0.5.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU with maintainer's approval
   (note this is not related to the BSP, that's why it's uploaded to 0-day)
    - Added sysfs to CS_TYPES (Closes: #229723)
    - Updated Spanish debconf translation provided by Javier Fernandez-Sanguino
      (Closes: #229010)
    - Added Danish debconf translation provided by Claus Hindsgaul 
      (Closes: #233705)
    - Updated Japanese debconf translation provided by Kenshi Muto
      (Closes: #237781)
    - Sort setuid files by name instead of by inode # (Closes: #202077)
    - Guard against undefined vars in check-setuid(Closes: #154390)
    - Fixed typo in check-diskfree.conf (Closes: #229104)
    - Added LOGFILE definition in cron task, this would make it easier
      to switch to a different logfile in order to fix #232951. However,
      the older LOGFILES would need to be handled in order to avoid
      cruft in the system.
    - Added a README.Debian that explains why the conffile is handled 
      as it is (Closes: #198933)
    - Check-diskfree now guards agains undefined vars and handles 
      mount points with spaces in the patch (Closes: #190928)
    - Added comment in checksecurity.conf file indicating how you can
      disable check-setuid completely. This will have to suffice
      until check-security provides a better mechanism for fine-grane
      control of plugin execution (Closes: #177120)
    - Filter only xfs mounts if the devine name is arla (Closes: #171980)
