[Ipaudit-devel] My Ipaudit-web short term goals.

[Jon R. <jon...@uc...>]

Greetings again :)

Once ipaudit-web-1.0BETA8 looks OK, I'd like to call it the real thing
and then think about the next step.

Here's how it looks to me.

I think I'd like to create an ipaudit-web version 1.2 that uses a
single ipaudit daemon that writes statistics every 30min rather then the
cron scripts we currently use that start a new ipaudit process every 30
minutes.

Toward that end, I've already added and committed to ipaudit
(1) a daemon mode that spawns children every 30 minutes to read and
record network traffic, and as requested by folks on this list,
(2) a setuid() function so that ipaudit daemon can run as root and its
children as the ipaudit user (analogous to apache)
(3) a chroot() function to implement.

The next part is to port the cron scripts to this new environment.

And, once this version 1.2 is completed, I was thinking it would be a
good time to consolidate the separate ipaudit (the original package
which includes only the binaries and has been neglected for awhile) and
ipaudit-web distributions into one package.

After that, I'd like to turn my attention to the goals we discussed in
recent postings that are available online at

Of course, any feedback and contributions are welcome.
