NAME
lsat - a security auditing tool
SYNOPSIS
lsat [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
Linux Security Auditing Tool (LSAT) is a post install security auditing
tool. It is modular in design, so new features can be added quickly. It
checks inetd entries and scans for unneeded RPM packages. It is being
expanded to work with Linux distributions other than Red Hat, and
checks for kernel versions.
Output is in lsat.out. On subsequent runs, previous output is in
lsat.old.
