Robert Watson 7a0a89d2cb Merge OpenBSM alpha 4 from OpenBSM vendor branch to head, both
contrib/openbsm (svn merge) and src/sys/{bsm,security/audit} (manual
merge).  Add libauditd build parts and add to auditd's linkage;
force libbsm to build before libauditd.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 4

- With the addition of BSM error number mapping, we also need to map the
  local error number passed to audit_submit(3) to a BSM error number,
  rather than have the caller perform that conversion.
- Reallocate user audit events to avoid collisions with Solaris; adopt a
  more formal allocation scheme, and add some events allocated in Solaris
  that will be of immediate use on other platforms.
- Add an event for Calife.
- Add au_strerror(3), which allows generating strings for BSM errors
  directly, rather than requiring applications to map to the local error
  space, which might not be able to entirely represent the BSM error
  number space.
- Major auditd rewrite for launchd(8) support.  Add libauditd library
  that is shared between launchd and auditd.
- Add AUDIT_TRIGGER_INITIALIZE trigger (sent via 'audit -i') for
  (re)starting auditing under launchd(8) on Mac OS X.
- Add 'current' symlink to active audit trail.
- Add crash recovery of previous audit trail file when detected on audit
  startup that it has not been properly terminated.
- Add the event AUE_audit_recovery to indicated when an audit trail file
  has been recovered from not being properly terminated.  This event is
  stored in the new audit trail file and includes the path of recovered
  audit trail file.
- Mac OS X and FreeBSD dependent code in auditd.c is separated into
  auditd_darwin.c and auditd_fbsd.c files.
- Add an event for the posix_spawn(2) and fsgetpath(2) Mac OS X system
  calls.
- For Mac OS X, we use ASL(3) instead of syslog(3) for logging.
- Add support for NOTICE level logging.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 3

- Add two new functions, au_bsm_to_errno() and au_errno_to_bsm(), to map
  between BSM error numbers (largely the Solaris definitions) and local
  errno(2) values for 32-bit and 64-bit return tokens.  This is required
  as operating systems don't agree on some of the values of more recent
  error numbers.
- Fix a bug how au_to_exec_args(3) and au_to_exec_env(3) calculates the
  total size for the token.  This buge.
- Deprecated Darwin constants, such as TRAILER_PAD_MAGIC, removed.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 4
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
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:
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.
