NAME
auditdistd -- Audit trail files distribution daemon
SYNOPSIS
auditdistd [-dFhl] [-c config] [-P pidfile]
DESCRIPTION
The auditdistd daemon is responsible for distributing audit trail files over TCP/IP network in a secure and reliable way.
The auditdistd daemon can be started with the following command line arguments:
-c config Specify alternative location of the configuration file. The default location is /etc/security/auditdistd.conf. Note: the con-
figuration file may contain passwords. Care should be taken to configure proper permissions on this file (eg. 0600).
-d Print or log debugging information. This option can be specified multiple times to raise the verbosity level.
-F Start the auditdistd daemon in the foreground. By default auditdistd starts in the background.
-h Print the auditdistd usage message.
-l Start in a launchd-friendly mode, ie. do not use daemon(3).
-P pidfile Specify alternative location of a file where main process PID will be stored. The default location is /var/run/auditdistd.pid.
