Robert Watson 52267f7411 Merge OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 2 from the OpenBSM vendor branch to head, both
contrib/openbsm (svn merge) and sys/{bsm,security/audit} (manual merge).

- Add OpenBSM contrib tree to include paths for audit(8) and auditd(8).
- Merge support for new tokens, fixes to existing token generation to
  audit_bsm_token.c.
- Synchronize bsm includes and definitions.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 2

- Include files in OpenBSM are now broken out into two parts: library builds
  required solely for user space, and system includes, which may also be
  required for use in the kernels of systems integrating OpenBSM.  Submitted
  by Stacey Son.
- Configure option --with-native-includes allows forcing the use of native
  include for system includes, rather than the versions bundled with OpenBSM.
  This is intended specifically for platforms that ship OpenBSM, have adapted
  versions of the system includes in a kernel source tree, and will use the
  OpenBSM build infrastructure with an unmodified OpenBSM distribution,
  allowing the customized system includes to be used with the OpenBSM build.
  Submitted by Stacey Son.
- Various strcpy()'s/strcat()'s have been changed to strlcpy()'s/strlcat()'s
  or asprintf().  Added compat/strlcpy.h for Linux.
- Remove compatibility defines for old Darwin token constant names; now only
  BSM token names are provided and used.
- Add support for extended header tokens, which contain space for information
  on the host generating the record.
- Add support for setting extended host information in the kernel, which is
  used for setting host information in extended header tokens.  The
  audit_control file now supports a "host" parameter which can be used by
  auditd to set the information; if not present, the kernel parameters won't
  be set and auditd uses unextended headers for records that it generates.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 1

- Add option to auditreduce(1) which allows users to invert sense of
  matching, such that BSM records that do not match, are selected.
- Fix bug in audit_write() where we commit an incomplete record in the
  event there is an error writing the subject token.  This was submitted
  by Diego Giagio.
- Build support for Mac OS X 10.5.1 submitted by Eric Hall.
- Fix a bug which resulted in host XML attributes not being arguments so
  that const strings can be passed as arguments to tokens.  This patch was
  submitted by Xin LI.
- Modify the -m option so users can select more then one audit event.
- For Mac OS X, added Mach IPC support for audit trigger messages.
- Fixed a bug in getacna() which resulted in a locking problem on Mac OS X.
- Added LOG_PERROR flag to openlog when -d option is used with auditd.
- AUE events added for Mac OS X Leopard system calls.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 1
Introduction
OpenBSM provides an open source implementation of Sun's BSM Audit API.
Originally created under contract to Apple Computer by McAfee Research, this
implementation is now maintained by volunteers and the generous contribution
of several organizations. Coupled with a kernel audit implementation,
OpenBSM can be used to maintain system audit streams, and is a foundation for
an Audit-enabled system. Portions of OpenBSM, including include files and
token-building routines, are reusable in a kernel audit implementation, and
may be found in the FreeBSD and Mac OS X kernels.
Contents
OpenBSM consists of several directories:
bin/ Audit-related command line tools
bsm/ Library include files for BSM
compat/ Compatibility code to build on various OS's
etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files
libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages
man/ System call and configuration file man pages
modules/ Directory for auditfilterd module source
sys/ System include files for BSM
test/ Test token sets and geneneration program
tools/ Tool directory, including audump to dump databases
The following programs are included with OpenBSM:
audit Command line audit control tool
auditd Audit management daemon
auditfilterd Experimental event monitoring framework
auditreduce Audit trail reduction tool
audump Debugging tool to parse and print audit databases
praudit Tool to print audit trails
Build and Installation
Please see the file INSTALL for build and installation instructions.
Contributions
The TrustedBSD Project would appreciate the contribution of bug fixes,
enhancements, etc, under identically or substantially similar licenses to
those present on the remainder of the OpenBSM source code.
