How to ensure Source code is not install.
How can I ensure that in my Linux installation (Red Hat any version) source code is not installed. This is the condition my client has given me that none of our software devlopment engineer should able to access the Linux source code.
Thanks in advance.

Re: How to ensure Source code is not install.
On the other hand;
If you have a custom application/driver that the developer builds for you. Your best bet is to keep the machine private. As in don't give your software development engineers access to that machine. You may even go as far as not connect the machine to a network/LAN. And only permit console access to the machine. Or even better place the complete machine in a vault. So that if you have access to the vault (which may require two different keys, iris scans, etc.) only then you can access the machine.
Its very hard to keep things secure/private when you give them access to the machine.

Re: How to ensure Source code is not install.
My S/W development team will be working on this Linux servers & machine will be on the network with full access to project team. But the condition is that the devlopment team should not access Linux source code. To achive this condition I have to ensure that no linux source code is installed on Linux servers while OS installation or else I need to uninstall the Linux source code after OS installation.
Please tell me how I can do this.
Thanks for your prompt replies.
Regards
Walter

Re: How to ensure Source code is not install.
If it is, just 'rpm -e kernel-source'.
By default, it installs to '/usr/src/linux-2.x' (where 'x' is either 4 or 6 depending on RH[789]/RHES3/Fedora[12] or RHES4/Fedora[34] respectivly).
If it's installed on a HP ML/DL/BL server though, you will need to be careful, as when you do a kernel update, the RAID controller and monitoring drivers will need to be rebuilt with the help of the kernel-source.

Re: How to ensure Source code is not install.
But anyways (from my RHES3 server):
# rpm -qa | grep kernel-source
kernel-source-2.4.21-27.EL
# rpm -e kernel-source-2.4.21-27.EL
This should do the trick.

Re: How to ensure Source code is not install.
In redhat you can delete sources by erazing /usr/src/linux-2.4 and /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directories.

Re: How to ensure Source code is not install.
What you are looking for is a code grinder that compares source files for commonalities, ie. stolen lines of code.

Lots to choose from.
