5 OpenBSM is an open source implementation of Sun's BSM event auditing file
6 format and API. Originally created for Apple Computer by McAfee Research,
7 OpenBSM is now maintained by volunteers and through the generous contribution
8 of several organizations.
10 OpenBSM includes several command line tools, including auditreduce(8) and
11 praudit(8) for reducing and printing audit trails, as well as the libbsm(3)
12 library to manage configuration files, generate audit records, and parse and
15 Coupled with a kernel audit implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain
16 system audit streams, and is a foundation for a full audit-enabled system.
17 Portions of OpenBSM, including include files and token-building routines, are
18 reusable in a kernel audit implementation, and may be found in the FreeBSD
23 OpenBSM consists of several directories:
25 bin/ Audit-related command line tools
26 bsm/ Library include files for BSM
27 compat/ Compatibility code to build on various operating systems
28 etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files
29 libauditd Common audit management functions for auditd and launchd
30 libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages
31 man/ System call and configuration file man pages
32 modules/ Directory for auditfilterd module source
33 sys/ System include files for BSM
34 test/ Test token sets and geneneration program
35 tools/ Tool directory, including audump to dump databases
