I am Linux System Administrator at a telecom provider. Our customer inform us to send soon independent security auditors to have a look at our Linux systems. They will have a root password and make an in deep analysis of the systems.
am not quite sure I would allow a random third party root access to my servers.
I wish to prepare. What "commands" and "config files" they will look? Are there Linux Security Guidelines? They wont use automated tools.
I am not an auditor, so take this with a pinch of salt: Lots of Linux security guidelines on the net. Personally, I would look at permissions on config files, up-to-dateness of patches, running processes, and a comparison of your configuration against your security policy. Devdas Bhagat
