Initial vendor import of the TrustedBSD OpenBSM distribution, versionvendor/openbsm/1.0-ALPHA-1
1.0 alpha 1, an implementation of the documented Sun Basic Security Module (BSM) Audit API and file format, as well as local extensions to support the Mac OS X and FreeBSD operating systems. Also included are command line tools for audit trail reduction and conversion to text, as well as documentation of the commands, file format, and APIs. This distribution is the foundation for the TrustedBSD Audit implementation, and is a pre-release. This is the first in a series of commits to introduce support for Common Criteria CAPP security event audit support. This software has been made possible through the generous contributions of Apple Computer, Inc., SPARTA, Inc., as well as members of the TrustedBSD Project, including Wayne Salamon <wsalamon> and Tom Rhodes <trhodes>. The original OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., as part of their CC CAPP security evaluation. Many thanks to: wsalamon, trhodes Obtained from: TrustedBSD Project

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm audit_control
+.Nd "contains audit system parameters"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+file contains several audit system parameters.
+Each line of this file is of the form:
+.Dl parameter:value.
+The parameters are:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Pa dir
+The directory where audit log files are stored.
+There may be more than one of these entries.
+Changes to this entry can only be enacted by restarting the
+audit system.
+See
+.Xr audit 1
+for a description of how to restart the audit system.
+.It Va flags
+Specifies which audit event classes are audited for all users.
+.Xr audit_user 5
+describes how to audit events for individual users.
+See the information below for the format of the audit flags.
+.It Va naflags
+Contains the audit flags that define what classes of events are audited when
+an action cannot be attributed to a specific user.
+.It Va minfree
+The minimum free space required on the file system audit logs are being written to.
+When the free space falls below this limit a warning will be issued.
+Not currently used as the value of 20 percent is chosen by the kernel.
+.El
+.Sh AUDIT FLAGS
+Audit flags are a comma delimited list of audit classes as defined in the
+audit_class file.
+See
+.Xr audit_class 5
+for details.
+Event classes may be preceded by a prefix which changes their interpretation.
+The following prefixes may be used for each class:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
+.It +
+Record successful events
+.It -
+Record failed events
+.It ^
+Record both successful and failed events
+.It ^+
+Don't record successful events
+.It ^-
+Don't record failed events
+.El
+.Sh DEFAULT
+The following settings appear in the default
+.Nm
+file:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dir:/var/audit
+flags:lo,ad,-all,^-fc,^-cl
+minfree:20
+naflags:lo
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Va flags
+parameter above specifies the system-wide mask corresponding to login/logout
+events, administrative events, and all failures except for failures in creating
+or closing files.

+.Sh AUTHORS
+This software was created by McAfee Research, the security research division
+of McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc.
+Additional authors include Wayne Salamon, Robert Watson, and SPARTA Inc.
+.Pp
+The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
+stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
+division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. in 2004.
+It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
+the OpenBSM distribution.
