Robert Watson 22ccb20de4 Vendor import of OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 9, with the following change history
notes since the last import:

OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 9

- Rename many OpenBSM-specific constants and API elements containing the
  strings "BSM" and "bsm" to "AUDIT" and "audit", observing that this is true
  for almost all existing constants and APIs.
- Instead of passing a per-instance cookie directly into all audit filter
  APIs, pass in the audit filter daemon state pointer, which is then used by
  the module using an audit_filter_{get,set}cookie() API.  This will allow
  future service APIs provided by the filter daemon to maintain their own
  state -- for example, per-module preselection state.

OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 8

- Correct typo in definition of AUR_INT.
- Adopt OpenSolaris constant values for AUDIT_* configuration flags.
- Arguments to au_to_exec_args() and au_to_exec_env() no longer const.
- Add kernel versions of au_to_exec_args() and au_to_exec_env().
- Fix exec argument type that is printed for env strings from 'arg' to 'env'.
- New OpenBSM token version number assigned, constants added for other
  commonly seen version numbers.
- OpenBSM-specific events assigned numbers in the 43xxx range to avoid future
  collisions with Solaris.  Darwin events renamed to AUE_DARWIN_foo, as they
  are now deprecated numberings.
- autoconf now detects clock_gettime(), which is not available on Darwin.
- praudit output fixes relating to arg32 and arg64 tokens.
- Maximum record size updated to 64k-1 to match Solaris record size limit.
- Various style and comment cleanups in include files.

This is an MFC candidate to RELENG_6.

OpenBSM 1.0
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.
Contents
OpenBSM consists of several directories:
bin/ Audit-related command line tools
bsm/ System include files for BSM
etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files
libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages
man/ System call and configuration file man pages
OpenBSM currently builds on FreeBSD and Darwin. With Makefile adjustment
and minor tweaks, it should build without problems on a broad range of
POSIX-like systems.
Building
OpenBSM is currently built using autoconf and automake, which should allow
for building on a range of operating systems, including FreeBSD, Mac OS X,
and Linux. Depending on the availability of audit facilities in the
underlying operating system, some components that depend on kernel audit
support are built conditionally. Typically, build will be performed using
./configure
make
To install, use:
make install
You may wish to specify that the OpenBSM components not be installed in the
base system, rather in a specific directory. This may be done using the
--prefix argument to configure. If installing to a specific directory,
remember to update your library path so that running tools from that
directory the correct libbsm is used:
./configure --prefix=/home/rwatson/openbsm
make
make install
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/rwatson/openbsm/libbsm ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
You will need to manually propagate openbsm/etc/* into /etc on your system;
this is not done automatically so as to avoid disrupting the current
configuration. Currently, the locations of these files is not
configurable.
