Hello Chad, it would be terrific to have these scripts available in SSG. I understand it takes time to make first code contribution, so this should be sufficient: * create an account on github.com * open issue on SSG project https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/issues * attach bash scripts to the issue
Then someone else can start moving these to the project itself. Maybe with step-by-step list, so you can jump in as well.
Thanks! Marek

The scripts are already using the SSG rule names, as I generally consume them by cloning the latest SSG, copying them into the fixes directory, and building. I did a few things differently, which I am not sure would be entirely welcome. For example, the scripts create a backup of files that are being modified. This is not required, but I like to do it.

Chuck,
I completely understand your frustrations. SSG is evolving to handle different types of remediation languages for consumption by environments that may use different remediation technologies like puppet, ansible, etc. besides just bash. By default, oscap does only bash remediations. One of the issues that we have is a lack of resources and help to address some of your concerns and frustrations. More contributions from the community (bash, ansible, OVAL, etc.) to close the gap in the content would really go a long way to providing fully complete content that the majority of users would be happy with. If anything in my mind, this is a great call to our SSG community to (hopefully) re-engage and help close the gap in the content by submitting PRs with enhancements and fixes. It could be as simple as providing a single file with all the bash remediations in a PR that the core contributors could merge into the SSG structure if a contributor doesn't have the time to do it themselves.

The audit and dconf rules were the most problematic to deal with. The audit rules because I (and I'm sure I'm not alone here) tend to find them very opaque cryptic. so manually fixing them can be rough. The dconf rules are confusing mainly because the description explicitly refers to a particular file to put settings in while the bash content for other dconf settings seem to create an SCAP Security Guide specific config file (i.e. /etc/dconf/db/local.d/10-scap-security-guide for example). I can see why that's certainly valid but it's confusing to have the prose refer to addressing the issue in one file while the fix scripts address it in a different file.

Thanks. I hope you are able to get the scripts included into the SSG. I didn't know how to do github contributions until it was posted earlier in this thread.
