BOOT-5180 - runlevel debian Jessie

[DocEmmetBrown]

Hi,

Debian Jessie's default runlevel returns N 5, so the BOOT-5180 test returns that it couldn't determine runlevel.

an ugly tweak :

diff --git a/include/tests_boot_services b/include/tests_boot_services

     if [ ${SKIPTEST} -eq 0 ]; then
         # Runlevel check
-        sRUNLEVEL=`${RUNLEVELBINARY} | grep "N 2"`
+        sRUNLEVEL=`${RUNLEVELBINARY} | grep "N [2,5]"`
         if [ ! "${sRUNLEVEL}" = "" ]; then
             FIND=`find /etc/rc2.d -type l -print | cut -d '/' -f4 | sed "s/S[0-9][0-9]//g" | sort`
             if [ ! "${FIND}" = "" ]; then

May be it could be nicer to test if debian version is >= 8.0 ;)

Cheers

Related patch has been applied to improve detection. Can you test? (it should skip and show no longer a related message/suggestion)

[mboelen]

@DocEmmetBrown did the patch work correctly for you?

[DocEmmetBrown]

Hi @mboelen , sorry I didn't have time to test the patch yet. I promise I'll do it soon and get back to you ;-)

Closing the issue, to keep the list clean. If it does not work, please reopen this issue.

I'm not sure when I started seeing this message, I'm running Lynis on Ubuntu 18.04 I run the audit system from a cronjob and then grep the lynis-report.dat for suggestion entries.

Performing test ID BOOT-5180 (Check for Linux boot services (Debian style))

suggestion[]=BOOT-5180|Determine runlevel and services at startup|-|-|

The code is different now, but the result is similar. The runlevel returns 'N 5' which results in the "Determine runlevel and services at startup" message.
