Thanks, Vijay. That’s exactly what I couldn’t find in the documentation.
(Now that I know what to look for, I see the line in security(8)’s manpage
that I overlooked.)

CC’ing list to help the next person with this question…

Subject: Re: security(8) question - how to skip a single file?



Hi Adam,

Not replying to list in case I did not understand the question.

I have the following towards the end of /etc/changelist

.
.
.
/var/nsd/etc/nsd.conf
# /var/unbound/etc/root.key
/var/unbound/etc/unbound.conf
/var/yp/Makefile.main
/var/yp/Makefile.yp

Is that what you are looking for?

Vijay

Quoting Adam Thompson <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

I have RTFMed and googled, but I still can’t figure out how to do one
simple
thing: make security(8) ignore a single file that changes on a daily basis,
where that file is otherwise monitored due to /etc/mtree/4.4BSD.dist.



The file in question is /var/unbound/db/root.key, which I have auto-updating.



Yes, I understand why this file is important, but on this particular system,
being lulled into complacency by a daily false-positive security(8) report is
more of a danger than someone managing to hack the root DNS key.



Suggestions or pointers or interpretation of the docs appreciated.



Thanks,
-Adam
