Radmind - 1.8.0

A suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. For Mac OS X, there's also a graphical interface.

At its core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change.

Each managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads. This allows, for example, the operating system to be described separately from applications.

Loadsets are stored on a remote server. By updating a loadset on the server, changes can be pushed to managed machines.

Also available is the Radmind Assistant, a Mac OS X Cocoa frontend for the radmind tools.


What's new in this version:

* Added reporting capabilities
* Clients will automatically report to the serve the success or failures of ktcheck and lapply. Also added a new tool "repo" that will log custom messages to the radmind server. Fixed bug in daemon that caused "success" or "no error" to be logged instead of actual error message. [BUG #1660749] Thanks to Gabrielle Singleton for reporting the problem.
* ra.sh uses more portable find options. [ Bug #1385630 ] Thanks Sean Sweda for the patch.
* fsdiff displays the command file name when reporting command file line errors. [ Feature #1592739 ]

* Fixed build problem for Suse 10. [ Bug #1677170 ]
* Thanks cdr3 for reporting the problem. ktcheck exits on all non 2xx server responses to avoid all cascading error messages
