35 .Nd "contains audit system parameters"
39 file contains several audit system parameters.
40 Each line of this file is of the form:
47 The directory where audit log files are stored.
48 There may be more than one of these entries.
49 Changes to this entry can only be enacted by restarting the
53 for a description of how to restart the audit system.
55 Specifies which audit event classes are audited for all users.
57 describes how to audit events for individual users.
58 See the information below for the format of the audit flags.
60 Contains the audit flags that define what classes of events are audited when
61 an action cannot be attributed to a specific user.
63 The minimum free space required on the file system audit logs are being written to.
64 When the free space falls below this limit a warning will be issued.
65 Not currently used as the value of 20 percent is chosen by the kernel.
68 Audit flags are a comma-delimited list of audit classes as defined in the
74 Event classes may be preceded by a prefix which changes their interpretation.
75 The following prefixes may be used for each class:
77 .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
79 Record successful events

114 This software was created by McAfee Research, the security research division
115 of McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc.
116 Additional authors include Wayne Salamon, Robert Watson, and SPARTA Inc.
118 The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
119 stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
121 The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
122 division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. in 2004.
123 It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
124 the OpenBSM distribution.
