Trusted Solaris Audit Administration

To Set Audit Flags

  1. As role secadmin, at label admin_low, enter system-wide audit flags in the audit_control(4) file.

    1. Open the System_Admin folder from the Application Manager.

    2. Double-click the Audit Control action.

  2. Enter the na class in the naflags: line if your site is auditing non-attributable events.

    dir:/etc/security/audit/egret/files
    dir:/etc/security/audit/egret.1/files
    dir:/etc/security/audit/grebe/files
    flags:
    minfree:20
    naflags:na
    
  3. Enter other classes in the flags: line if your system is auditing user-level events.

    dir:/etc/security/audit/egret/files
    dir:/etc/security/audit/egret.1/files
    dir:/etc/security/audit/grebe/files
    flags:lo,ad,-all,^-fc
    minfree:20
    naflags:na

    See Sample audit_control File for an explanation of the syntax of the audit flags' fields.

  4. Write the file and exit the editor.


    Note –

    On a distributed system, the audit flags in the audit_control file must be identical on every host on the network. See To Distribute Audit Configuration Files for a process to distribute master copies of files to all hosts on the network.
