<A NAME="con001c"><P><B>Code [con001c]</B><P>
The configuration file listed was not read because it was
a directory.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con002c"><P><B>Code [con002c]</B><P>
The configuration file listed was not read because it was
not owned by `root'. This is to prevent someone from
modifying the configuration file.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con003c"><P><B>Code [con003c]</B><P>
The configuration file listed was not read because it was
writable by non-root users. This is to prevent someone from
modifying the configuration file.

<A NAME="con004c"><P><B>Code [con004c]</B><P>
Informational message describing which configuration files are
being used during the checks.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con005c"><P><B>Code [con005c]</B><P>
Configuration files, specific to the type of system that `tiger' is being
run on, do not exist. It may not be possible to perform all of the checks
due to the lack of certain files. Some checks that are performed may
also generate incorrect or incomplete information.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con006e"><P><B>Code [con006e]</B><P>
The indicated option was not recognized. The valid options are:
<P>
-B tiger_home Specify tiger home directory
<P>
-d directory Specify directory to create security logs in
<P>
-w directory Specify directory to use for scratch files
<P>
-e Insert explanations into output
<P>
-E Generate separate explanation report
<P>
-S Perform partial checks of disk-less client
<P>
configuration files on server.

</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con007c"><P><B>Code [con007c]</B><P>
Generic configuration files for this system do not exist. The
checking system will continue on, attempting to locate items it
needs, and using default configuration files. Many checks will
not be performed, and many that are attempted may function
incorrectly, generating incorrect output.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con008e"><P><B>Code [con008e]</B><P>
Generic configuration files for this system do not exist. The
checking system attempted to continue on, but could not locate
the default configuration files either. This is an installation
problem. It may be necessary to indicate the location of the
tiger files using the '-B' option.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con009e"><P><B>Code [con009e]</B><P>
There doesn't exist a configuration variable or it is not properly
defined. Since the variable is needed for the module to run, it
will probably exit. This is a configuration problem. It is
necessary to add the variable to the tigerrc configuration file.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="con010c"><P><B>Code [con010c]</B><P>
The filesystem is not recognised by Tiger as a valid filesystem
for this operating system and will not be analysed. If this is a local
filesystem then the configuration script for this operating system
needs to be modified. You should report this as a bug in the software.
<P>
You can use the following tigerrc variables to adjust this message
or adapt it to your system locally:
<P>
- Tiger_FSScan_Local: if set, filesystems defined in it will be considered
local and will always be analysed.
- Tiger_FSScan_NonLocal: ff set, filesystems defined in it will be considered
non-local and will not be analysed.
- Tiger_FSScan_WarnUnknown : If set to 'N' this message will not be presented
(this prevents it from being emailed when some of the Tiger scripts are run
through cron)

<A NAME="init001e"><P><B>Code [init001e]</B><P>
The indicated variable, which should specifies the pathname to a command,
does not have a value. This message should not appear on platforms
for which support is listed. If it does appear, then for the missing
commands, if you know the name of the command, then simply place it
into the environment and rerun the checking system.
<P>
setenv AWK /usr/bin/awk
<P>
./tiger
<P>
Or alternately, create a 'site' configuration file and insert an
assignment statement in there of the form:
<P>
AWK=/usr/bin/awk
<P>
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init002e"><P><B>Code [init002e]</B><P>
The required configuration script was not found in the listed directory.
The programs can not run without this script. The '-B' switch can
be used to specify the directory containing the configuration script.
<P>
./tiger -B path_to_tiger_home
<P>

</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init003c"><P><B>Code [init003c]</B><P>
Output when run in `self-test' mode indicating that everything appears
to be OK as far as having all commands and files.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init004e"><P><B>Code [init004e]</B><P>
The indicated command does not exist or is not executable. This
indicates a configuration error.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init005e"><P><B>Code [init005e]</B><P>
The indicated variable, which should contain the pathname to an
input file or work directory does not have a value. This indicates
that either full support is not available for this platform, that
the system tried to find a valid file to set a value for the variable
but was not able to
or that there is a configuration error.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init006e"><P><B>Code [init006e]</B><P>
An input file required for performing a test is not available. This
indicates that there is a configuration error.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init007e"><P><B>Code [init007e]</B><P>
A required variable does not have a value. This indicates either
incomplete support this platform or a configuration error.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init008e"><P><B>Code [init008e]</B><P>
An attempt was made to run one of the support scripts directly.
These scripts can only be invoked by the top level scripts.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="init009e"><P><B>Code [init009e]</B><P>
The script wanted to use a temporary script which already exists, this
might mean somebody created it to make use of a (fortunately non-existent)
race condition. The script will not proceed further since it will not
use a file which it did not create itself.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="util001e"><P><B>Code [util001e]</B><P>
The attempt to compile the signature checking program (SNEFRU) failed.
This will prevent the tests of the integrity of system binaries from
being performed.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="util002e"><P><B>Code [util002e]</B><P>
The attempt to compile the program for resolving symbolic links failed.
This will prevent the checks of symbolic links from being performed.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="post001e"><P><B>Code [post001e]</B><P>
The listed file was not deleted because it was not in the scratch
directory. This indicates an internal error.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="read001i"><P><B>Code [read001i]</B><P>
The indicated file exists, but can not be read. This usually happens
if you do not run the scripts from an account with super-user privileges.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="run001e"><P><B>Code [run001e]</B><P>
A needed file cannot be read, probably due to insufficient privileges.
Make sure that Tiger is run by the superuser (root) account.
<PRE>










</PRE><HR>
<A NAME="run002e"><P><B>Code [run002e]</B><P>
A needed command cannot be executed, probably due to insufficient privileges.
Make sure that Tiger is run by the superuser (root) account.
