lynis --profile options available ?

[centminmod]

I did tarball lynis 2.0 install but confused as to whether there is a profile specifically for CentOS ?

what is correct syntax for --profile and what are all available options for linux distrubutions available ?

lynis --auditor "centminmod.com initial run" -c -Q --profile CentOS

[ Lynis 2.0.0 ]

Fatal error: Can't open profile file (CentOS)

Profiles are meant to define a scan should be done. There is a default profile, named default.prf, which you optionally can copy and alter. This is useful to avoid the file being overwritten, or using different profiles for different types of scans. No need to specify the OS, as Lynis will detect that and adjust tests to what it discovered.

thank @mboelen for the clarification :)
