NAME

auditconfig - configure auditing

SYNOPSIS

auditconfig [ args ]

AVAILABILITY

The functionality described in this man page is available only if the Basic Security Module (BSM) has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for more information.

DESCRIPTION

auditconfig provides a command line interface to get and set kernel audit parameters.

OPTIONS

-chkconf

Check the configuration of kernel audit event to class mappings. If the runtime class mask of a kernel audit event does not match the configured class mask, a mismatch is reported.

-conf

Configure kernel audit event to class mappings. Runtime class mappings are changed to match those in the audit event to class database file.

-getcond

Display the kernel audit condition. The condition displayed is the literal string auditing meaning auditing is enabled and turned on (the kernel audit module is constructing and queuing audit records) or noaudit meaning auditing is enabled but turned (the kernel audit module is not constructing and queuing audit records), or disabled meaning that the audit module has not been enabled. See auditon(2) and auditd(1M) for further information.

-setcond[auditing|noaudit]
                Set the kernel audit condition to the condition specified where condition is
                the literal string auditing indicating auditing should be enabled or
                noaudit indicating auditing should be disabled.

-getclass event

Display the preselection mask associated with the specified kernel audit event. event is the kernel event number or event name.

-setclass event audit_flag[,audit_flag . . . ]
                Map the kernel event event to the classes specified by audit_flags. event is
                an event number or name. An audit_flag is a two character string
                representing an audit class. See audit_control(4) for further information.

-lsevent

Display the currently configured (runtime) kernel and user level audit event information.

-getpinfo pid

Display the audit ID ,preselection mask, terminal ID and audit session ID for the specified process.

-setpmask pid flags
                Set the preselection mask of the specified process. flags is the ASCII
                representation of the flags similar to that in audit_control(4).

-setsmask asid flags

Set the preselection mask of all processes with the specified audit session ID.

-setumask auid flags

Set the preselection mask of all processes with the specified audit ID.

-lspolicy

Display the kernel audit policies with a description of each policy.

-getpolicy

Display the kernel audit policy.

-setpolicyf1[+|-]policy_flag[,policy_flag ... ]

Set the kernel audit policy. A policy policy_flag is literal strings that denotes an audit policy. A prefix of + adds the policies specified to the current audit policies. A prefix of - removes the policies specified from the current audit policies. The following are the valid policy flag strings (auditconfig -lspolicy also lists the current valid audit policy flag strings):

arge

Include the execv (2)system call environment arguments to

the audit record. This information is not included by default.

argv

Include the execv (2)system call parameter arguments to the audit record. This information is not included by default.

cnt

Do not suspend processes when audit resources are

exhausted. Instead, drop audit records and keep a count of

the number of records dropped. By default, process are

suspended until audit resources become available.

group

Include the supplementary group token in audit records. By

default, the group token is not included.

path

Add secondary path tokens to audit record. These are typi-

cally the pathnames of dynamically linked shared libraries or command interpreters for shell scripts. By default, they are

not included.

trail

Include the trailer token in every audit record. By default, the trailer token is not included.

seq

Include the sequence token as part of every audit record. By

default, the sequence token is not included. The sequence

token attaches a sequence number to every audit record.

EXAMPLES

#

# map kernel audit event number 10 to the "fr" audit class
#
% auditconfig -setclass 10 fr

#

# turn on inclusion of exec arguments in exec audit records
#
% auditconfig -setpolicy +argv

ERRORS

auditconfig returns 0 upon success and 1 upon failure.
