.SH Usage
.SS Configuration
.PP
Hardening scripts are in \fB\fCbin/hardening\fR\&. Each script has a corresponding
configuration file in \fB\fCetc/conf.d/[script_name].cfg\fR\&.
.PP
Each hardening script can be individually enabled from its configuration file.
For example, this is the default configuration file for \fB\fCdisable_system_accounts\fR:
.PP
.RS
.nf
# Configuration for script of same name
status=disabled
# Put here your exceptions concerning admin accounts shells separated by spaces
EXCEPTIONS=""
.fi
.RE
.PP
\fB\fCstatus\fR parameter may take 3 values:
     \fB\fCdisabled\fR (do nothing): The script will not run.
     \fB\fCaudit\fR (RO): The script will check if any change \fIshould\fP be applied.
     \fB\fCenabled\fR (RW): The script will check if any change should be done and automatically apply what it can.
.PP
Global configuration is in \fB\fCetc/hardening.cfg\fR\&. This file controls the log level
as well as the backup directory. Whenever a script is instructed to edit a file, it
will create a timestamped backup in this directory.
.SS Run aka "Harden your distro"
.PP
To run the checks and apply the fixes, run \fB\fCbin/hardening.sh\fR\&.
.PP
This command has 2 main operation modes:
     \fB\fC\-\-audit\fR: Audit your system with all enabled and audit mode scripts
     \fB\fC\-\-apply\fR: Audit your system with all enabled and audit mode scripts and apply changes for enabled scripts
.PP
Additionally, \fB\fC\-\-audit\-all\fR can be used to force running all auditing scripts,
including disabled ones. this will \fInot\fP change the system.
.PP
\fB\fC\-\-audit\-all\-enable\-passed\fR can be used as a quick way to kickstart your
configuration. It will run all scripts in audit mode. If a script passes,
it will automatically be enabled for future runs. Do NOT use this option
if you have already started to customize your configuration.
