audit_warn
- alert when audit daemon issues warnings
DESCRIPTION
The
script
runs when
auditd(8)
generates warning messages.
The default
is a script whose first parameter is the type of warning; the script
appends its arguments to
/etc/security/audit_messages
Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehensive one would take
different actions based on the type of warning.
For example, a low-space warning
could result in an email message being sent to the administrator.
The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. in 2004.
It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
the OpenBSM distribution.
