I haven't looked at the details of it yet 19:09:29 kind of like my earlier proposed https://github.com/MindPointGroup/RHEL7-STIG/issues/232 "Support DISA STIG Viewer Results Import" 19:09:40 they implemented it via a custom callback plugin 19:10:26 at a glance, it appears to both support check_mode and to have a variable to turn on or off each rule 19:10:28 I am intrigued to see how well these run 19:10:37 Hmm 19:10:46 I don't like that they used mixed-case variable names, though 19:10:57 Oh 19:11:07 I didn't even notice that, I don't like it either 19:11:50 The other one that I wanted to point out is Red Hat's Supported ansible playbooks included in their scap-security-guide package. The RHEL 7 STIG version is available at /usr/share/scap-security-guide/ansible/rhel7-playbook-stig.yml from the scap-security-guide package 19:12:26 we already know it's not good content, but could be used as leverage to get certain bugs fixed that are triggered by said automation content 19:12:38 True 19:13:17 We will need to poke at that a bit to see what we can pull from it 19:14:24 #topic Open Floor 19:14:58 I didn't get to send any messages re an ansible-lockdown collection since last meeting. 19:15:26 I have been working through tomcat and another project so I've just had my head down running through things. I think the DISA roles are something I'll really poke at next. I have a feeling they will be oscap content and might not be that great 19:15:36 I didn't either 19:15:43 And I haven't seen anything else in either direction 19:15:48 About the collection stuff 19:16:33 they look significantly better than SSG content, but are likely inspired by SSG content 19:16:48 yeah 19:17:57 I've started asking web.archive.org to archive the various things I use from cyber.mil because they don't seem to keep old versions anymore, which makes it very hard to do a comparison 19:18:13 Oh yeah that's a good idea 19:18:15 but it's ad-hoc and I'll likely miss things that I need but forgot to send to the archive 19:18:43 I wish there were a "periodically trawl and archive all links on this page" button 19:19:18 I hear that, having to do it manually leaves it open to miss something 19:21:55 I opened a couple of bugs on the PGS9-STIG repo 19:22:02 "RFE's" if you will 19:22:10 I'll probably get to them eventually 19:23:57 apparently GitHub now has "pinned issues" -- I've just pinned a couple on the RHEL7-STIG repo 19:25:08 #topic Ansible Galaxy updates 19:25:22 What do we need to do to push a newer version of each of the roles to Galaxy? 19:25:23 Cool 19:25:39 I'll have to get with David (dfed) on that one 19:25:45 we keep getting bug reports about long-fixed bugs, from folks using the ancient versions from galaxy 19:26:31 (apparently pinned issues is limited to 3) 19:26:37 I can't fix that until I get the logins for the galaxy account. 19:26:58 which, along with ownership of the repos to move them, is something I am waiting on 19:27:54 I'm only admin on the PGS9-STIG repo, which hasn't been published to Galaxy 19:28:57 would it help to get a new release tagged, then we can ask someone w/ the creds to do a push for us? 19:29:39 if I can figure out who has the account, yes. There's a bit of communication errors on our end on this 19:29:57 likely defionscode or shepledacreme 19:30:57 #topic Open Floor 19:31:01 likely, but until someone answers me, not sure. I may swing past those two and go straight to jason mckerr to get the account reassigned to me on the RHEL end if I can 19:31:19 always a "back door" somewhere :P 19:31:31 anything else for today? 19:31:42 I didn't have anything else 19:32:06 any lurkers today? 19:32:14 will close the meeting in 2 minutes if nothing comes up 19:32:23 Sounds good 19:37:58 #endmeeting
