New page

In linux, you can see your systems' info by fooling around in /proc and changing stuff in there. In FreeBSD, the equivalent is [[sysctl]].

+Hi Rene9,You need to point it to the results file geretaned earlier (xccdf-results.xml), not the XCCDF file itself.I do plan to integrate them in the ebuild later when they're more fixed and had a few other looks on them as well. Submitting them upstream will take a little more since I then first want to have gentoo-specific probes and OVAL tests approved (the upstream patch would then contain both the XCCDF/OVAL as well as the probe definitions and such). For now, I abuse the system a bit and first have a script generate the necessary output only to parse the output file (rather than using direct probes for the information).
