Robert Watson a751bb7470 Vendor import of OpenBSM 1.1, which incorporates the following changes
since the last imported OpenBSM release:

OpenBSM 1.1

- Change auditon(2) parameters and data structures to be 32/64-bit architecture
  independent.  Add more information to man page about auditon(2) parameters.
- Add wrapper functions for auditon(2) to use legacy commands when the new
  commands are not supported.
- Add default for 'expire-after' in audit_control to expire trail files when
  the audit directory is more than 10 megabytes ('10M').
- Interface to convert between local and BSM fcntl(2) command values has been
  added:  au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd(3) and au_fcntl_cmd_to_bsm(3), along with
  definitions of constants in audit_fcntl.h.
- A bug, introduced in OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 4, in which AUT_RETURN32 tokens
  generated by audit_submit(3) were improperly encoded has been fixed.
- Fix example in audit_submit(3) man page.  Also, make it clear that we want
  the audit ID as the argument.
- A new audit event class 'aa', for post-login authentication and
  authorization events, has been added.

OpenBSM 1.1
Introduction
OpenBSM is an open source implementation of Sun's BSM event auditing file
format and API. Originally created for Apple Computer by McAfee Research,
OpenBSM is now maintained by volunteers and through the generous contribution
of several organizations.
OpenBSM includes several command line tools, including auditreduce(8) and
praudit(8) for reducing and printing audit trails, as well as the libbsm(3)
library to manage configuration files, generate audit records, and parse and
print audit trils.
Coupled with a kernel audit implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain
system audit streams, and is a foundation for a full 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 operating systems
etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files
libauditd Common audit management functions for auditd and launchd
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:
