There are two data structures that are related to managing cron itself and cron tasks:
linux:
system:
cron:
and
linux:
system:
job:
linux:system:cron manages cron packages, services, and '/etc/cron.allow' file.
'deny' files are managed the only way - we're ensuring they are absent, that's a requirement from CIS 5.1.8
'cron' pillar structure is the following:
linux:
system:
cron:
enabled: true
pkgs: [ <cron packages> ]
services: [ <cron services> ]
user:
<username>:
enabled: true
To add user to '/etc/cron.allow' use 'enabled' key as shown above.
'/etc/cron.deny' is not managed as CIS 5.1.8 requires it was removed.
A user would be ignored if any of the following is true: * user is disabled in linux:system:user:<username> * user is disabled in linux:system:cron:user:<username>
linux:system:job manages individual cron tasks.
By default, it will use name as an identifier, unless identifier key is explicitly set or False (then it will use Salt's default behavior which is identifier same as command resulting in not being able to change it):
linux:
system:
...
job:
cmd1:
command: '/cmd/to/run'
identifier: cmd1
enabled: true
user: 'root'
hour: 2
minute: 0
Pillar for managing at tasks is similar to one for cron tasks:
linux:
system:
at:
enabled: true
pkgs: [ <at packages> ]
services: [ <at services> ]
user:
<username>:
enabled: true
To add a user to '/etc/at.allow' use 'enabled' key as shown above.
'/etc/at.deny' is not managed as CIS 5.1.8 requires it was removed.
A user will be ignored if any of the following is true: * user is disabled in linux:system:user:<username> * user is disabled in linux:system:at:user:<username>
Linux security limits (limit sensu user memory usage to max 1GB):
linux:
system:

linux:
system:

autologin: root
# Enable serial console
ttyS0:
autologin: root
rate: 115200
term: xterm
To disable set autologin to false
.
Set policy-rc.d
on Debian-based systems. Action can be any available

linux:

Install always up to date LTS kernel and headers from Ubuntu Trusty:

Load kernel modules and add them to /etc/modules
:
linux:
system:
kernel:
modules:
- nf_conntrack
- tp_smapi
- 8021q
Configure or blacklist kernel modules with additional options to
/etc/modprobe.d
following example will add
/etc/modprobe.d/nf_conntrack.conf
file with line
options nf_conntrack hashsize=262144
:
'option' can be a mapping (with 'enabled' and 'value' keys) or a scalar.
Example for 'scalar' option value:
linux:
system:
kernel:
module:
nf_conntrack:
option:
hashsize: 262144
Example for 'mapping' option value:
linux:
system:
kernel:
module:
nf_conntrack:
option:
hashsize:
enabled: true
value: 262144
NOTE: 'enabled' key is optional and is True by default.
Blacklist a module:
linux:
system:
kernel:
module:
nf_conntrack:
blacklist: true
A module can have a number of aliases, wildcards are allowed. Define an alias for a module:
linux:
system:
kernel:
module:
nf_conntrack:
alias:
nfct:
enabled: true
"nf_conn*":
enabled: true
NOTE: 'enabled' key is mandatory as there are no other keys exist.
Execute custom command instead of 'insmod' when inserting a module:
linux:
system:
kernel:
module:
nf_conntrack:
install:
enabled: true
command: /bin/true
NOTE: 'enabled' key is optional and is True by default.
Execute custom command instead of 'rmmod' when removing a module:
linux:
system:
kernel:
module:
nf_conntrack:
remove:
enabled: true
command: /bin/true
NOTE: 'enabled' key is optional and is True by default.

PCI-SIG Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing (SR-IOV) specification defines a standardized mechanism to virtualize PCIe devices. The mechanism can virtualize a single PCIe Ethernet controller to appear as multiple PCIe devices:

Remove the specified CPUs, as defined by the cpu_number values, from
the general kernel SMP balancing and scheduler algroithms. The only
way to move a process onto or off an isolated CPU is via the CPU
affinity syscalls. cpu_number begins

, so the
maximum value is 1
less than the number of CPUs on the system.:

Note
For old Ubuntu releases (<xenial)
extra packages for apt transport, like apt-transport-https
may be required to be installed manually.
(Chicken-eggs issue: we need to install packages to
reach repo from where they should be installed)
Otherwise, you still can try 'fortune' and install prereq.packages before

Setting prompt is implemented by creating /etc/profile.d/prompt.sh
.
Every user can have different prompt:
linux:
system:
prompt:
root: \\n\\[\\033[0;37m\\]\\D{%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S} $(hostname -f)\\[\\e[0m\\]\\n\\[\\e[1;31m\\][\\u@\\h:\\w]\\[\\e[0m\\]
default: \\n\\D{%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S} $(hostname -f)\\n[\\u@\\h:\\w]
On Debian systems, to set prompt system-wide, it's necessary to
remove setting PS1 in /etc/bash.bashrc
and ~/.bashrc
,
which comes from /etc/skel/.bashrc
. This formula will do
this automatically, but will not touch existing user's
~/.bashrc
files except root.
Fix bash configuration to preserve history across sessions like ZSH does by default:
linux:
system:
bash:
preserve_history: true
/etc/issue
is a text file which contains a message or system
identification to be printed before the login prompt. It may contain
various @char and char sequences, if supported by the getty-type
program employed on the system.
Setting logon banner message is easy:

Debian manual proto interfaces
When you are changing interface proto from static in up state
to manual, you may need to flush ip addresses. For example,
if you want to use the interface and the ip on the bridge.
This can be done by setting the ipflush_onchange
to true.
linux:
network:
interface:
eth1:
enabled: true
type: eth
proto: manual
mtu: 9100
ipflush_onchange: true
Debian static proto interfaces
When you are changing interface proto from dhcp in up state to
static, you may need to flush ip addresses and restart interface
to assign ip address from a managed file. For example, if you wantto
use the interface and the ip on the bridge. This can be done by
setting the ipflush_onchange
with combination restart_on_ipflush
param set to true.
linux:
network:
interface:
eth1:
enabled: true
type: eth
proto: static
address: 10.1.0.22
netmask: 255.255.255.0
ipflush_onchange: true
restart_on_ipflush: true
Concatinating and removing interface files
Debian based distributions have /etc/network/interfaces.d/
directory, where you can store configuration of network
interfaces in separate files. You can concatinate the files
to the defined destination when needed, this operation removes
the file from the /etc/network/interfaces.d/
. If you just need
to remove iface files, you can use the remove_iface_files
key.
linux:
network:
concat_iface_files:
- src: '/etc/network/interfaces.d/50-cloud-init.cfg'
dst: '/etc/network/interfaces'
remove_iface_files:
- '/etc/network/interfaces.d/90-custom.cfg'

Parameter purge_hosts
will enforce whole /etc/hosts file

removing entries that are not defined in model except defaults

for security reasons.

Netconsole logger can be configured for the configfs-enabled kernels
(CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
must be enabled). The configuration
applies both in runtime (if network is already configured),
and on-boot after an interface initialization.
Note
- Receiver can be located only on the same L3 domain (or you need to configure gateway MAC manually).
- The Receiver MAC is detected only on configuration time.
- Using broadcast MAC is not recommended.

For this feature to work, please mark addresses with some role. Otherwise 'default' role is assumed and mesh would consist of all addresses on the environment.
Mesh mark is needed only for interfaces which are enabled and have ip address assigned.
Checking dhcp pxe network meaningless, as it is used for salt master vs minion communications, therefore treated as checked.
