See the sysman(8) and syman_station(8) reference pages for more details. If a kernel rebuild is required as part of the configuration, auditconf guides the user through the rebuild and reboot. The auditconfig interface configures the following aspects of the audit subsystem: Location of the audit logs. The /var/audit/ directory is the default area. Action for the audit subsystem to take if the file space allocated for audit logs is exhausted. Trimming of audit logs. Enable accepting audit data from remote systems. Select the profiles/categories of events to be audited. Include environment strings with an or system call. You must be root to run FILES
