System Administration Commands - Part 2

System Administration Commands - Part 3

auditd

- audit daemon

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/auditd 

Description

The audit daemon, auditd, controls the generation and location of audit trail files and the generation of syslog messages based on its configuration (see auditconfig(1M)). If auditing is enabled, auditd reads its configuration to do the following:

audit(1M) is used to control auditd. It can cause auditd to:

auditconfig(1M) is used to configure auditd. It can configure the active and permanent:

Audit Record Queue

The maximum number of records to queue for audit data sent to the plugin is specified by the qsize parameter specified for the plugin. If omitted, the current hiwater mark is used. See the -getqctrl option in auditconfig(1M). When this maximum is reached, auditd will either block processes or discard data, depending on the cnt audit policy as described in auditconfig(1M).

Auditing Conditions

The audit daemon and audit plugins invoke the program audit_warn(1M) under certain conditions. See audit_warn(1M) for more information.

See the section on Solaris Auditing in Oracle Solaris Administration: Security Services.

Notes

auditd is loaded in the global zone at boot time if auditing is enabled.

If the audit policy perzone is set, auditd runs in each zone, starting automatically when the local zone boots. If a zone is running when the perzone policy is set, auditing must be started manually in local zones. It is not necessary to reboot the system or the local zone to start auditing in a local zone. auditd can be started with audit -s and will start automatically with future boots of the zone.

When auditd runs in a local zone, the configuration is taken from the local zone's smf(5) repository and the /etc/security directory's files: audit_class, user_attr, and audit_event.

Configuration changes do not affect audit sessions that are currently running, as the changes do not modify a process's preselection mask. To change the preselection mask on a running process, use the –setpmask option of the auditconfig command (see auditconfig(1M)). If the user logs out and logs back in, the new configuration changes will be reflected in the next audit session.

The audit service FMRI is svc:/system/auditd:default.
