It will also remove the sXid compressed archive from the “/var/tmp” directory. Configurations All software we describe in this book has a specific directory and subdirectory in a tar compressed archive named “floppy.tgz” containing file configurations for the specific program. If you get this archive file, you wouldn’t be obliged to reproduce the different configuration files bellow manually or cut and past them to create your configuration files. Whatever your decide to copy manually or get the files made to your convenience from the archive compressed files, it will be to your responsibility to modify, adjust for your needs and place the files related to sXid software to their appropriated places on your server machine, like show bellow. The server configuration files archive to download is located at the following Internet address: http://pages.infinit.net/lotus1/opendocs/floppy.tgz · To run sXid, the following file is require and must be create or copied to the appropriated directory on your server. Copy the sxid.conf file to the “/etc/” directory. You can obtain configuration files listed bellow on our floppy.tgz archive. Copy the following files from the decompressed floppy.tgz archive to their appropriated places or copy and paste them directly from this book to the concerned file. Configure the “/etc/sxid.conf” file The configuration file for sXid (“/etc/sxid.conf”) allows you to set options that modify the operation of the program. It is well commented and very basic. Step 1 Edit the sxid.conf file (vi /etc/sxid.conf) and set your needs: # Configuration file for sXid # Note that all directories must be absolute with no trailing /'s  # Where to begin our file search SEARCH = "/" # Which subdirectories to exclude from searching EXCLUDE = "/proc /mnt /cdrom /floppy" # Who to send reports to EMAIL = "root" # Always send reports, even when there are no changes? ALWAYS_NOTIFY = "no" # Where to keep interim logs. This will rotate 'x' number of # times based on KEEP_LOGS below LOG_FILE = "/var/log/sxid.log" # How many logs to keep KEEP_LOGS = "5" # Rotate the logs even when there are no changes? ALWAYS_ROTATE = "no"
