Osec is a lightweight integrity checking system.
You can use it to see difference between two states of your system
Osec also adds an ability of checking system for the dangerous files, e.g.
suid, sgid and world writeable

If you run osec under root acount, then this program
will work under non-privilegy user with only one extra capability 'dac_read_search', so osec cannot
damage any system file on internal errors.

Osec is divided into two parts:
1. osec          - data gathering program. Osec have made it's output in row format to stdout.
2. osec_reporter - report filter. You can pass row output from osec to reporter to see 
human-readable reports with some analisys.

Reporter process made it's output to stdout, so you can continue this pipeline. For example, you 
can send e-mail with report to system administrator.

If you develop some interesting reporter module or filter you can sent to authors to include
it into osec distribution.

Requires
--------
You need following tools to build library:
    o c compiler (gcc 3.2 or higher)
    o libcdb library (0.76 or higher). Latest version available at http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/tinycdb.html
    o libcap library (1.10 or higher)
    o GNU autoconf (2.61 or higher)
    o GNU automake (1.11 or higher)
    o GNU help2man (1.40.12 or higher)

optionally:
    o libattr library (2.4.46 or higher)

Notes
-----
You can use osec under non-privilege user, but if you try to run osec under administrator account,
osec will try to drop its privileges to non-privilege user "osec". You can change this default
user (and group) using --user (--group) options.
By default, osec will create database in current directory. You can change this path using
--dbpath option. If you run osec under administrator account please check that non privilege user
have write osec in this output directory.


Bug reporting
