3 Introduction
4
5OpenBSM provides an open source implementation of Sun's BSM Audit API.
6Originally created under contract to Apple Computer by McAfee Research,
7this implementation is now maintained by volunteers and the generous
8contribution of several organizations. Coupled with a kernel audit
9implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain system audit streams, and
10is a foundation for an Audit-enabled system.
11
12 Contents
13
14OpenBSM consists of several directories:
15
16 bin/ Audit-related command line tools
17 bsm/ System include files for BSM
18 etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files
19 libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages
20 man/ System call and configuration file man pages
21
22OpenBSM currently builds on FreeBSD and Darwin. With Makefile adjustment
23and minor tweaks, it should build without problems on a broad range of
24POSIX-like systems.

26 Building
27
28OpenBSM is currently built using a series of BSD make files which should
29work on both FreeBSD and Darwin. One known issue is that versions of
30Darwin prior to 10.3.8 have a nested include of "sys/audit.h" from
31"sys/proc.h", which can result in type definition conflicts. If running
32with include files from an earlier version of Darwin, the nested include
33must be manually removed in order that libbsm can be built, due to
34potentially conflicting types resulting from an include of "sys/sysctl.h"
35by that file. On Darwin, the use of BSD make must be specified explicitly
36by using "bsdmake" rather than "make", which on Darwin refers to GNU make.
37Typical invocations from the OpenBSM tree root:

39FreeBSD

41 % make
42 # make install
43
44Darwin
45
46 % bsdmake
47 # bsdmake install
