Hi there (again)
Just a note to let you know that there is a new pre-release Tiger 3.2.1
version on Savannah's download area [1]. The new stable version 3.2.1 will
boast a number of CHANGES wrt to 3.2. Below is the official changelog for
it, you will see the addition of a number of new checks and better support
for some systems (including preliminary support for MacOS X) due to
a source code merger with TARA [2] 3.0.3.
I will be making a full release as soon as testing of this new release
candidate is finished. Thus, I would appreciate it if both users and
developers took a shoot at the new version and sent in comments (or bug
reports).
Thanks!
Javier Fernandez-Sanguino

check_patch, check_perms, check_rhosts, check_root, check_services,

- Other check changes:
- check_cron moved to check_crontabs
- removed SunOS check_networkconfig in favour of the new check_ndd
- Default Tigerrc has been modified to account for the new checks
- Applied Ryan Bradetich's patches for HPUX support and to some of the
checks (check_accounts, check_passwd, check_rootdir

can check which checks does Tiger implement automatically.

- Fixed syntax errors in grep calls
- Modified SunOS config file to look for the MAILSPOOL in /var/mail
- Tiger now uses a function (run_script) to run either the scripts in
the $SCRIPTDIR or system-specific scripts if available. This allows
developers to create more specific checks for a given OS and have them
override the generic scripts.
- Review of temporary file creation in all files including the creation
of a new function (safe_temp) to handle temporary file usage.
- Included a RedHat spec file to create rpm packages (contributed
by 'unspawn')
- New utilities: mkfilelst

* Update of all SunOS 5 checks based on ARSC's implementation in TARA
* Preliminary MacOSX implementation based on ARSC's implementation in
TARA
* New check_rookit check
* Improvements in checks
- Tiger now can generate signatures for new systems
- Tiger now shows usage
- Updated manpages for tiger and tigexp
- Removed Debian-specific checks from the default cronrc file and instead
call 'check_system. Added new checks to the cronrc file
- Updated documentation in README files
- Added still more TODOs
