about:
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 many system configurations and local network settings on the system
for common security/config errors and for packages that are not needed. It
has been tested on Linux (Gentoo, Red Hat, Debian, etc.) and Solaris
(SunOS 2.x).

Changes:
A checkumask error on some systems has been fixed, checkset behaves with
/dev/watchdog, MAKEDEV, etc., and checkmodules errors with kernel+lcap
have been fixed. A checknetp module has been added which checks whether
interfaces are in promiscuous mode or not.
