Solaris Auditing: Newly specified events not being logged

Hi all

I'm busy testing auditing on Solaris 10.

I am using the syslog plugin to get real time view of what's happening on the system. Initially I am only monitoring lo events. The audit_control file looked like this:

Code:
dir:/var/audit
flags:lo
minfree:20
naflags:lo
plugin:name=audit_syslog.so;p_flags=lo

I then wanted to add the the class, fd, as well. I did this as follows:

Code:
dir:/var/audit
flags:lo,fd
minfree:20
naflags:lo
plugin:name=audit_syslog.so;p_flags=lo,fd

I ran the command to reread the audit_control file:
Code:
audit -s

Also just, in case, I restarted the box using
Code:
init 6

I am however not seeing file delete events being tracked when I test it.

Is there something I am doing wrong? The documentation I have found is not helping me much in this regard. Smilie

NAME
audit_binfile - generation of Solaris audit logs SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/security/audit_binfile.so DESCRIPTION
The audit_binfile plugin module for Solaris audit, /usr/lib/security/audit_binfile.so, writes binary audit data to files as configured in audit_control(4); it is the default plugin for the Solaris audit daemon auditd(1M). Its output is described by audit.log(4). The audit_binfile plugin is loaded by auditd if audit_control contains one or more lines defining audit directories by means of the dir: specification or if audit_control has a plugin: specification of name=audit_binfile.so. OBJECT ATTRIBUTES
The p_dir and p_minfree attributes are equivalent to the dir: and minfree: lines described in audit_control. If both the dir: line and the p_dir attribute are used, the plugin combines all directories into a single list with those specified by means of dir: at the front of the list. If both the minfree and the p_minfree attributes are given, the p_minfree value is used. EXAMPLES
The following directives cause audit_binfile.so to be loaded, specify the directories for writing audit logs, and specify the percentage of required free space per directory. flags: lo,ad,-fm naflags: lo,ad plugin: name=audit_binfile.so; p_minfree=20; p_dir=/etc/security/jedgar/eggplant, /etc/security/jedgar.aux/eggplant, /etc/security/global/eggplant ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT Level |MT-Safe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Evolving | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
auditd(1M), audit_control(4), syslog.conf(4), attributes(5) SunOS 5.10 20 May 2003 audit_binfile(5)
