Name

    audit_class– audit class definitions

Synopsis

    /etc/security/audit_class
    

Description

    /etc/security/audit_class is a user-configurable ASCII system file that stores class definitions used in the audit system. Audit events in audit_event(4) are mapped to one or more of the defined audit classes. audit_event can be updated in conjunction with changes to audit_class. See audit_control(4) and audit_user(4) for information about changing the preselection of audit classes in the audit system. Programs can use the getauclassent(3BSM) routines to access audit class information.

    The fields for each class entry are separated by colons. Each class entry is a bitmap and is separated from each other by a newline.

    Each entry in the audit_class file has the form:

    mask:name:description
    

    The fields are defined as follows:

    mask

    class mask

    name

    class name

    description

    class description

    Each class is represented as a bit in the class mask which is an unsigned integer. Thus, there are 32 different classes available. Meta-classes can also be defined. These are supersets composed of multiple base classes, and thus will have more than 1 bit in its mask. See Examples. Two special meta-classes are also pre-defined: all, and no.

    all

    Represents a conjunction of all allowed classes, and is provided as a shorthand method of specifying all classes.

    no

    Is the invalid class, and any event mapped solely to this class will not be audited. Turning auditing on to the all meta class will not cause events mapped solely to the no class to be written to the audit trail. This class is also used to map obsolete events which are no longer generated. Obsolete events are retained to process old audit trails files.

Examples


    Example 1 Using an audit_class File

    The following is an example of an audit_class file:


    0x00000000:no:invalid class
    0x00000001:fr:file read
    0x00000002:fw:file write
    0x00000004:fa:file attribute access
    0x00000008:fm:file attribute modify
    0x00000010:fc:file create
    0x00000020:fd:file delete
    0x00000040:cl:file close
    0x00000100:nt:network
    0x00000200:ip:ipc
    0x00000400:na:non-attribute
    0x00001000:lo:login or logout
    0x00004000:ap:application
    0x000f0000:ad:old administrative (meta-class)
    0x00070000:am:administrative (meta-class)
    0x00010000:ss:change system state
    0x00020000:as:system-wide administration
    0x00040000:ua:user administration
    0x00080000:aa:audit utilization
    0x00300000:pc:process (meta-class)
    0x00100000:ps:process start/stop
    0x00200000:pm:process modify
    0x20000000:io:ioctl
    0x40000000:ex:exec
    0x80000000:ot:other
    0xffffffff:all:all classes (meta-class)

Attributes

    See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

    ATTRIBUTE VALUE 

    Interface Stability  

    See below. 

    The file format stability is Committed. The file content is Uncommitted.

Notes

    It is possible to deliberately turn on the no class in the kernel, in which case the audit trail will be flooded with records for the audit event AUE_NULL.

    This functionality is available only if Solaris Auditing has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for more information.
