auditdistd (distributed audit daemon) to the build: - Manual cross references - Makefile for auditdistd - rc.d script, rc.conf entrie - New group and user for auditdistd; associated aliases, etc. The audit trail distribution daemon provides reliable, cryptographically protected (and sandboxed) delivery of audit tails from live clients to audit server hosts in order to both allow centralised analysis, and improve resilience in the event of client compromises: clients are not permitted to change trail contents after submission.

.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm audit
|
|
.Nd Security Event Audit
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "options AUDIT"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Security Event Audit is a facility to provide fine-grained, configurable
|
|
logging of security-relevant events, and is intended to meet the requirements
|
|
of the Common Criteria (CC) Common Access Protection Profile (CAPP)
|
|
evaluation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fx
|
|
.Nm
|
|
facility implements the de facto industry standard BSM API, file
|
|
formats, and command line interface, first found in the Solaris operating
|
|
system.
|
|
Information on the user space implementation can be found in
|
|
.Xr libbsm 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Audit support is enabled at boot, if present in the kernel, using an
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
flag.
|
|
The audit daemon,
|
|
.Xr auditd 8 ,
|
|
is responsible for configuring the kernel to perform
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
pushing
|
|
configuration data from the various audit configuration files into the
|
|
kernel.
|
|
.Ss Audit Special Device
|
|
The kernel
|
|
.Nm
|
|
facility provides a special device,
|
|
.Pa /dev/audit ,
|
|
which is used by
|
|
.Xr auditd 8
|
|
to monitor for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
events, such as requests to cycle the log, low disk
|
|
space conditions, and requests to terminate auditing.
|
|
This device is not intended for use by applications.
|
|
.Ss Audit Pipe Special Devices
|
|
Audit pipe special devices, discussed in
|
|
.Xr auditpipe 4 ,
|
|
provide a configurable live tracking mechanism to allow applications to
|
|
tee the audit trail, as well as to configure custom preselection parameters
|
|
to track users and events in a fine-grained manner.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn OpenBSM
|
|
implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
|
|
division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc.\& in 2004.
|
|
It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
|
|
the OpenBSM distribution.

|

Support for kernel

|
.Nm
|
|

The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
|
|
stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fx
|
|
kernel does not fully validate that audit records submitted by user
|
|
applications are syntactically valid BSM; as submission of records is limited
|
|
to privileged processes, this is not a critical bug.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Instrumentation of auditable events in the kernel is not complete, as some
|
|
system calls do not generate audit records, or generate audit records with
|
|
incomplete argument information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) labels, as provided by the
|
|
.Xr mac 4
|
|
facility, are not audited as part of records involving MAC decisions.
