Version control for audit
Hi.I am running some scripts from a "scripts" directory for my job (I am working in Financial industry).For compliance purposes I need to use a "release" directory when running them using some sort of version control(CVS,SVN or GIT) in case the program is audited.Basically I have to maintain a dev directory and a production directory ,the production directory being locked or read only and every change I make has to be tracked if necessary .I used GIT ,as I found it very nice and so whenever I make a change I can deploy it in a branch .My problem is that I do not know how to lock/unlock these branches .For example in the old days I used RCS which was very simple,unlock,make the change and lock it .Right now I am not sure what I am missing.I have a script running once a day where I add all the file in the scripts directory and commit them using GIT but obviously that does not solve the issue.Many thanks,
Mihail

audit

audit(1M)																 audit(1M)

NAME

       audit - control the behavior of the audit daemon

SYNOPSIS

       audit -n | -s | -t | -v	[path]

       The audit command is the system administrator's interface to maintaining the audit trail. The audit daemon can be notified to read the con-
       tents of the audit_control(4) file and re-initialize the current audit directory to the first directory listed in the audit_control file or
       to  open  a  new  audit file in the current audit directory specified in the audit_control file, as last read by the audit daemon.  Reading
       audit_control also causes the minfree and plugin configuration lines to be re-read and reset within auditd. The audit daemon  can  also	be
       signaled to close the audit trail and disable auditing.

       -n	Notify the audit daemon to close the current audit file and open a new audit file in the current audit directory.

       -s	Notify the audit daemon to read the audit control file. The audit daemon stores the information internally. If the audit daemon is
		not running but audit has been enabled by means of bsmconv(1M), the audit daemon is started.

       -t	Direct the audit daemon to close the current audit trail file, disable auditing, and die. Use -s to restart auditing.

       -v path	Verify the syntax for the audit control file stored in path. The audit command displays an approval message  or  outputs  specific
		error messages for each error found.

       The audit command will exit with 0 upon success and a positive integer upon failure.

       /etc/security/audit_control

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Stability		     |Evolving			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       bsmconv(1M), praudit(1M), audit(2), audit_control(4), audit_user(4), attributes(5)

       The  functionality  described  in  this man page is available only if the Basic Security Module (BSM) has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for
       more information.

       The audit command does not modify a process's preselection mask. It functions are limited to the following:

	 o  affects which audit directories are used for audit data storage;

	 o  specifies the minimum free space setting;

	 o  resets the parameters supplied by means of the plugin directive.

       For the -s option, audit validates the audit_control syntax and displays an error message if a syntax error is found.  If  a  syntax  error
       message	is  displayed,	the audit daemon does not re-read audit_control. Because audit_control is processed at boot time, the -v option is
       provided to allow syntax checking of an edited copy of audit_control. Using -v, audit exits with 0 if the syntax is correct; otherwise,	it
       returns a positive integer.

       The  -v	option	can be used in any zone, but the -t, -s, and -n options are valid only in local zones and, then, only if the perzone audit
       policy is set. See auditd(1M) and auditconfig(1M) for per-zone audit configuration.
