Here are the steps to take to kick-start s()
    itemization(
    it() Install the stealth Debian package tt(stealth__CurVers__i386.deb) and
thus accept the provided binary program (skipping the next series of steps) or
do not accept the provided binary, and compile s() yourself, as per the
following steps:
    it() Unpack tt(stealth__CurVers_.tar.gz): 
        tt(tar xzvf tealth__CurVers_.tar.gz)
    it() tt(cd stealth);
    it() Inspect, and where necessary modify the values of the variables in
the files tt(INSTALL.cf) and tt(icmconf);
    it() Install a recent Gnu tt(g++) compiler;
    it() Install the bobcat library (both the binary and development version)
(lurl(https://fbb-git.gitlab.io/bobcat/));
    it() Install  the tt(icmake) program
(lurl(https://fbb-git.gitlab.io/icmake/));
    it() Run `tt(./build program strip)' to compile s();
    it() Run (probably as root) `tt(./build install program)' to install;
    it() Optionally install documentation. See section ref(COMPILING).
    )
    Following the installation the tt(stealth) directory tree has become
superfluous and can safely be removed.
    
    Next, do:
    itemization(
    it() tt(cp share/usr/bin/stealthmail  /usr/local/bin)
    it() tt(mkdir           /root/stealth)
    it() tt(cp documentation/example-policies/localhost.pol  /root/stealth)
    )

    tt(ssh) and tt(bash) (or another shell program) should be
available. tt(root@localhost) should be able to login at tt(localhost) using
tt(ssh root@localhost), using the tt(/bin/bash). Check
(as `root') at least
        verb(    ssh root@localhost)
    as this might ask you for a confirmation that you've got the correct
host. 
    Now, run 
        verb(    stealth /root/stealth/localhost.pol)
    to initialize the stealth-report files for tt(localhost). This initializes
the report for
    itemization(
    it() all root setuid/setgid executable files on tt(localhost), 
    it() and for all files under tt(/etc/) on tt(localhost). 
    )

    The mail-report is sent to tt(root@localhost).

    Now change or add or remove one of these files, and rerun s(). The
file tt(/tmp/stealth-_CurVers_.mail) should reflect these changes.
