💡 Highlights

This version has quite a lot of commits. This includes a standardization of satellite scripts configuration format and standard parameters, hence some configuration review might need to be done after upgrading (detailed in the specific upgrades instructions below).

The 3 main changes of this version are:

  • The osh-encrypt-rsync.pl script functionalities have been extended to not only cover the encryption/rotation/exporting of ttyrec files, but now also each user's local access logs and sql logs, where applicable. Previously, these logs where handled by the compress-old-logs.sh script, which was just compressing these files in-place. The latter script has now been removed in favor of the new features of osh-encrypt-rsync.pl, which not only handles compression/encryption, but also export of these files to the same remote escrow filer than you may have configured for your ttyrec files.

  • The NRPE probes we use to monitor our bastion clusters have been added to the contrib/ folder, if you're using Nagios, Icinga or any other NRPE-compatible monitoring system, you might want to have a look to said folder.

  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is now supported and part of the automated tests. CentOS 8 has been removed, as this distribution has been EOL for some time. The software might still work for the meantime, but any potential future incompatibility might go undetected, and is not guaranteed to be fixed. Note that however, RockyLinux 8 is supported and tested.

As a side note, an overhaul of the left menu of the documentation has been done, in an effort to enhance documentation navigation as the documentation book thickens.
