LINUX UPGRADERS - PLEASE NOTE. There are now some additional dependencies you will need to install using your package manager. These are screen, ssh-pass and smb-client. Details are in the pre-requisites pages. We also need to install winexe. It is not in repositories, but available for most distributions via the SuSe Build Service. Go to the URL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ahajda:/winexe/ and download the relevant package for your distribution. Install it using "sudo dpkg -i PACKAGENAME" (Debian/Ubuntu) or "yum install PACKAGENAME" (RedHat/CentOS) and you should be good to go.
Discovery on a linux based Open-AudIT server will not work without these packages installed.
The big new feature in 1.2 is the new discovery engine. From the web interface, regardless of running Open-AudIT on Windows or Linux, you can audit Windows, audit an Active Directory Domain, audit Linux and SNMP query and nmap discover devices. Discovery will create a Network Group if you provide it a slash separated subnet (ie - 192.168.0.0/24) and that Network Group does not already exist.
...
NOTE - On the Discovery web form is a check box to run using "debug". This should only be used to troubleshoot an individual device (or very small subnet - say a device or two) and the web interface will hang until such time as the discovery process is complete. Do not use this in normal operation. It is provided as a convenience only.
Discovery is quite verbose and creates quite a few log lines in (linux) /usr/local/open-audit/other/open-audit.log or (windows) c:\xampplite\open-audit\other\open-audit.log. In order to have "some" management over this file, a new menu item is provided at Menu -> Admin -> Logs -> Purge Log to simply delete the contents of that file. If you find you need to view more lines than are shown in the web interface, simply add /#LINES (ie - /50) to the end of the URL.
You should first setup the default credentials for Open-AudIT in Menu -> Admin -> Config, but you can also provide these on a per Discovery basis.

FIX - audit_linux, in network card section of audit_linux script, model and description fields were reversed.
