110.Fx 6.2 . |
111.Sh BUGS 112The audit facility in 113.Fx 114is considered experimental, and production deployment should occur only after 115careful consideration of the risks of deploying experimental software. 116.Pp 117The 118.Fx 119kernel does not fully validate that audit records submitted by user 120applications are syntactically valid BSM; as submission of records is limited 121to privileged processes, this is not a critical bug. 122.Pp 123Instrumentation of auditable events in the kernel is not complete, as some 124system calls do not generate audit records, or generate audit records with 125incomplete argument information. 126.Pp 127Mandatory Access Control (MAC) labels, as provided by the 128.Xr mac 4 129facility, are not audited as part of records involving MAC decisions. |
