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
