[HERT] ANNOUNCE: linux auditd daemon 1.10



Greetings,

We have just released auditd version 1.10 for linux.

    Auditd  is  part  of the linux kernel auditing toolkit. It
    will capture auditing trails created by the kernel  audit­
    ing  facility from /proc/audit, filter them, and save them
    in specific log files.  For the moment, auditd  only  sup­
    ports the -t option, which enables audit trails timestamp­
    ing. Other command line options will  probably  be  imple­
    mented in the next releases to add more flexibility to the
    package.
                                                        
Comments, suggestions, and critics are welcome.

INSTALLATION

	# vi Makefile
	# vi audit.h
        # make
        # make install
	# ./kpatch
        # cd /usr/src/linux
        # make zlilo
        # echo "/usr/sbin/auditd" >> /etc/init/rc.daemons
        # reboot


INFORMATION

	o /proc/audit

		This is where the kernel audit facility sends its raw
	  trails information. It is in ascii format, but you may have
	  problems converting network byte order addresses to n&d ips
	  manually. :) 

	o /sbin/auditd [-t]

		The audit daemon captures audit trails from /proc/audit,
	  filters them following its filtering rules, formats them, and
	  outputs them to a log file. The "-t" option will force auditd
	  to apply timestamps to the audit trails.

	o /etc/security/audit.conf

		The audit configuration file keeps the auditd filtering
	  rules. It enable the administrator to filter trails by flag, 
	  uid, and pid. 

		- Multiple flags can be specified on a single line;
		- Only one pid can be specified by line;
		- Only one uid can be specified by line;
		- Both flags, uids and pids can be replaced by a
		  '*' mask;


NOTES/BUGS/TODO

	- The next release will probably include audit trails
	  routing to other hosts (similar to syslogd), and
	  piping to commands;
	- If you find any bug, please contact me at:
