Installation Procedure

The installation procedure uses GNU autoconfigure (all configuration options are listed in the appendix):

bash$./configure
bash$make
bash$make install

WarningWARNING
 

samhain is a Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) compliant application. Thus the default directory layout is not the standard GNU layout (see the section called Files and directory layout>).

Executables will be stripped upon installation. On Linux, the sstrip utility (copyright 1999 by Brian Raiter, under the GNU GPL) will be used to strip the executable even more, to prevent debugging with the GNU gdb debugger.

TipInit Scripts
 

For Linux, make will generate init scripts for SuSE, RedHat, and Debian, and make install-boot will figure out which of them to install, and where (if the correct distribution cannot be determined, none of them will be installed).
