Our security guy runs a scanning system called Qualys.
He gave me an rpm file to install and a couple of commands to run.
It appears to have installed the agent ok.
But I see in the log file that it is trying to do a pattern match to
determine the OS name and version.
It is looking for CentOS and RedHat and Oracle Unbreakable Linux… but
can’t figure this one out.
Might there be some simple thing I can tweak to help?
Without knowing anything about Qualys, I'm going to take a stab and
guess it is looking in /etc/redhat-release for string matches. There is
also os-release, sl-release, and system-release.
Try backing them up and changing the string to either CentOS or RedHat's
equivalent and see if that makes a difference. The os-release is the
preferred method, as it as the ID_LIKE attribute. I doubt Qualys is
using utilizing that information though.
