Is checking whether a file is symlink supported in analysis.cfg? The man page doesn't mention it but client_config.c does look like it should work.

I have this in analysis.cfg FILE /etc/.sudoers.local red type=symlink

My test goes red with the following statement: File is a file - should be symlink

If I click on it, I see this: [file:/etc/.sudoers.local] type:100000 (file, symlink -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local) mode:440 (-r--r-----) linkcount:1 owner:0 (root) group:0 (root) size:102 clock:1435770054 (2015/07/01-17:00:54) atime:1336161370 (2012/05/04-19:56:10) ctime:1377011564 (2013/08/20-15:12:44) mtime:1377011564 (2013/08/20-15:12:44)

To prove it's a symlink:

ls -l /etc/.sudoers.local

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Aug 2 2011 /etc/.sudoers.local -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local

What am I doing wrong?

I believe this is a bug. Might never have really been fully implemented, actually.

Can you try the following patch (untested) and see if it works for you?
