OpenBSM 1.0 Introduction OpenBSM provides an open source implementation of Sun's BSM Audit API. Originally created under contract to Apple Computer by McAfee Research, this implementation is now maintained by volunteers and the generous contribution of several organizations. Coupled with a kernel audit implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain system audit streams, and is a foundation for an Audit-enabled system. Contents OpenBSM consists of several directories: bin/ Audit-related command line tools bsm/ System include files for BSM etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages man/ System call and configuration file man pages OpenBSM currently builds on FreeBSD and Darwin. With Makefile adjustment and minor tweaks, it should build without problems on a broad range of POSIX-like systems. Building OpenBSM is currently built using a series of BSD make files which should work on both FreeBSD and Darwin. One known issue is that versions of Darwin prior to 10.3.8 have a nested include of "sys/audit.h" from "sys/proc.h", which can result in type definition conflicts. If running with include files from an earlier version of Darwin, the nested include must be manually removed in order that libbsm can be built, due to potentially conflicting types resulting from an include of "sys/sysctl.h" by that file. On Darwin, the use of BSD make must be specified explicitly by using "bsdmake" rather than "make", which on Darwin refers to GNU make. Typical invocations from the OpenBSM tree root: FreeBSD % make # make install Darwin % bsdmake # bsdmake install Credits The following organizations and individuals have contributed substantially to the development of OpenBSM: Apple Computer, Inc. McAfee Research, McAfee, Inc. SPARTA, Inc. Robert Watson Wayne Salamon Suresh Krishnaswamy Kevin Van Vechten Tom Rhodes Wojciech Koszek Chunyang Yuan Poul-Henning Kamp Christian Brueffer Olivier Houchard Christian Peron In addition, Coverity, Inc.'s Prevent(tm) static analysis tool and Gimpel Software's FlexeLint tool were used to identify a number of bugs in the OpenBSM implementation. Contributions The TrustedBSD Project would appreciate the contribution of bug fixes, enhancements, etc, under identically or substantially similar licenses to those present on the remainder of the OpenBSM source code.
