Hi,

I am able to install the "Bastille" on the WindRiver Linux.I also installed the "perl-Curses".

While I was trying to get the text based interface(Curses) for the bastille it was showing the errors.Please verify the following log and give your valuable suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Wind River Linux?
It would appear that WRL is not on the list of valid Oss for Bastille - ergo, the answer to your question in "not".

This is a curious distro - hard to get any actual information on it that isn't advertising spin. It looks like they are making an entirely new linux aimed at embedded devices and their website is courting HW manufacturers with buzwords and assurances.

Hi Simon,

Thanks a lot for your reply...

That list of supported OSs is a bit odd:

Most recent listed in each supported distro:
RH9 (RedHat Linux 9) - extreme legacy
RHFC5 (Fedora Core 5) - legacy
RHEL4 (RedHat Enterprise - various flavors) - not current
MN10 (Manrake 10) - legacy
MN2006 (Mandriva 2006) - not current
SE10 (SUSE Enterprise 10?) - SLED10SP1 is current
SES9LE (SUSE Enterprise Server 9 LE?) - SLES10SP1 is current
TB7 (??? - no idea what this could be)

Dosn't look like a current release to me.

From the designers:
http://bastille-linux.sourceforge.net/

However - Bastille linux is also available for ubuntu and others not on the official list. Presumably unnofficially.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BastilleLinux

If you know that your distro is based on another, it may still be possible to use it anyway. However, it is just a script. If you read the script, you will get lots of good security advise. You can also remove the distro type test and run it... etc.

Hi Simon,

I read the bastille script but I am not able to understand completely that where I need to change the distro, version and all.Please help me to modify the script to work on the WRLinux.

Thanks in advance

If you cannot find something that tests the distro version, then I cannot help. I'd have to get the script myself and pour through it and I have better things to do with my time. If you feel you really need the script to help you make security choices, then you have the wrong distro anyway.
