aset.restore(1M)

NAME

     aset.restore - restores system files to their content before
     ASET is installed

SYNOPSIS

     aset.restore [-d aset_dir]

DESCRIPTION

     aset.restore restores system files that are affected by  the
     Automated Security Enhancement Tool (ASET) to their pre-ASET
     content. When ASET is executed for the first time,  it saves
     and    archives   the   original   system   files   in   the
     /usr/aset/archives  directory.   The  aset.restore   utility
     reinstates  these files.  It also deschedules ASET, if it is
     currently scheduled for periodic execution. See  asetenv(4).

     If you have made changes  to  system  files  after   running
     ASET,  these changes are lost when you run  aset.restore. If
     you want to be absolutely sure that you  keep  the  existing
     system  state, it is recommended that you back-up your  sys-
     tem before using  aset.restore.

     You should  use   aset.restore,  under  the  following  cir-
     cumstances:

          You want to remove ASET  permanently  and  restore  the
          original  system  (if  you want to deactivate ASET, you
          can remove it from scheduling).
          You are unfamiliar with ASET  and  want  to  experiment
          with  it.  You can use aset.restore to restore the ori-
          ginal system state.
          When some major system  functionality  is  not  working
          properly and you suspect that ASET is causing the prob-
          lem; you may want to restore the  system to see if  the
          problem persists without ASET.

     aset.restore requires root privileges to execute.

OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -d aset_dir
           Specify the working directory for  ASET.  By  default,
           this  directory  is  /usr/aset.  With  this option the
           archives directory will be located under aset_dir.

FILES

     /usr/aset/archives
           archive of system files prior to executing aset
