I am Sergio Ligregni, from Mexico, I am currently working in the Distributed Audit Project at GSoC 2010, I want to ask your help in these things:
HELP NEEDED: /*++++++++++++++++++++++*/ - which code should I base my development in getting parameters from a file? (I've searched some audit.c, auditd_fbsd.c, auditd.c but not got the function to do that, maybe I missed something), currently I have files like: /var/audit /var2/audit 1000 yes 53686 and got the parameters with sscanf, but the right way (the one I want to know wich code to take as baseline): dir:/var/audit /var2/audit time: 1000 slave_dir: yes port: 53686 and not to use sscanf (the avoiding of that function is a security concern made by my mentor). I think I can do an algorithm to implement that, but maybe there is a better/safer way to do in order to keeping the standard. /*++++++++++++++++++++++*/ Currently I have this function to verify if a file is a trail, having it's name, this is very poor and it needs to be improved, any ideas? /* * When exploring /var/audit/ (or the directory where the trails are), not * all files are trails so we must ensure we will only deal with the ones * that are trails. */ static int is_audit_trail(char *path) { /* * We have these posibilities, only the first one is allowed * 20100619223115.20100619223131 20100619223131.not_terminated * current */ if (strlen(path) == 29 && path[14] == '.' && isdigit(path[15])) { /* XXX To improve this checking later */ return 1; } return 0; } /*++++++++++++++++++++++*/ By the way the Wiki and the Perforce Repository for this project are: http://wiki.freebsd.org/SOC2010SergioLigregni http://p4db.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/soc2010/disaudit&HIDEDEL=NO Thanks! -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Sergio AndrĂ©s Ligregni Arredondo Estudiante IngenierĂa en Sistemas Computacionales, ITQ.
