AUDITD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 AUDITD(8)

NAME

     auditd -- audit log management daemon

SYNOPSIS

     auditd [-d | -l]

DESCRIPTION

     The auditd daemon responds to requests from the audit(8) utility and notifications from the kernel.  It manages the resulting audit log files
     and specified log file locations.

     The options are as follows:

     -d      Starts the daemon in debug mode -- it will not daemonize.

     -l      This option is for when auditd is configured to start on-demand using launchd(8).

     Optionally, the audit review group "audit" may be created.  Non-privileged users that are members of this group may read the audit trail log
     files.

NOTE

     To assure uninterrupted audit support, the auditd daemon should not be started and stopped manually.  Instead, the audit(8) command should be
     used to inform the daemon to change state/configuration after altering the audit_control file.

     If auditd is started on-demand by launchd(8) then auditing should only be started and stopped with audit(8).

     On Mac OS X, auditd uses the asl(3) API for writing system log messages.  Therefore, only the audit administrator and members of the audit
     review group will be able to read the system log entries.

FILES

     /var/audit     Default directory for storing audit log files.

     /etc/security  The directory containing the auditing configuration files audit_class(5), audit_control(5), audit_event(5), and audit_warn(5).

COMPATIBILITY

     The historical -h and -s flags are now configured using audit_control(5) policy flags ahlt and cnt, and are no longer available as arguments
     to auditd.
