.Dd July 10, 2008 .Dt AUDITON 2 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm auditon .Nd "configure system audit parameters" .Sh SYNOPSIS n bsm/audit.h .Ft int .Fn auditon "int cmd" "void *data" "u_int length" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn auditon system call is used to manipulate various audit control operations. The .Fa data argument should point to a structure whose type depends on the command. The .Fa length argument specifies the size of .Fa *data in bytes. The .Fa cmd argument may be any of the following: l -tag -width ".It Dv A_GETPINFO_ADDR" t Dv A_SETPOLICY Set audit policy flags. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt long value set to one or more the following audit policy control values bitwise OR'ed together: .Dv AUDIT_CNT , .Dv AUDIT_AHLT , .Dv AUDIT_ARGV , and .Dv AUDIT_ARGE . If .Dv AUDIT_CNT is set, the system will continue even if it becomes low on space and discontinue logging events until the low space condition is remedied. If it is not set, audited events will block until the low space condition is remedied. Unaudited events, however, are unaffected. If .Dv AUDIT_AHLT is set, a .Xr panic 9 if it cannot write an event to the global audit log file. If .Dv AUDIT_ARGV is set, then the argument list passed to the .Xr execve 2 system call will be audited. If .Dv AUDIT_ARGE is set, then the environment variables passed to the .Xr execve 2 system call will be audited. The default policy is none of the audit policy control flags set. t Dv A_SETKAUDIT Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_SETKMASK Set the kernel preselection masks (success and failure). The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_mask_t structure containing the mask values as defined in n bsm/audit.h . These masks are used for non-attributable audit event preselection. The field .Fa am_success specifies which classes of successful audit events are to be logged to the audit trail. The field .Fa am_failure specifies which classes of failed audit events are to be logged. The value of both fields is the bitwise OR'ing of the audit event classes specified in .Fa bsm/audit.h . The various audit classes are described more fully in .Xr audit_class 5 . t Dv A_SETQCTRL Set kernel audit queue parameters. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_qctrl_t structure (defined in n bsm/audit.h ) containing the kernel audit queue control settings: .Fa aq_hiwater , .Fa aq_lowater , .Fa aq_bufsz , .Fa aq_delay , and .Fa aq_minfree . The field .Fa aq_hiwater defines the maximum number of audit record entries in the queue used to store the audit records ready for delivery to disk. New records are inserted at the tail of the queue and removed from the head. For new records which would exceed the high water mark, the calling thread is inserted into the wait queue, waiting for the audit queue to have enough space available as defined with the field .Fa aq_lowater . The field .Fa aq_bufsz defines the maximum length of the audit record that can be supplied with .Xr audit 2 . The field .Fa aq_delay is unused. The field .Fa aq_minfree specifies the minimum amount of free blocks on the disk device used to store audit records. If the value of free blocks falls below the configured minimum amount, the kernel informs the audit daemon about low disk space. The value is to be specified in percent of free file system blocks. A value of 0 results in a disabling of the check. t Dv A_SETSTAT Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_SETUMASK Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_SETSMASK Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_SETCOND Set the current auditing condition. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt long value containing the new audit condition, one of .Dv AUC_AUDITING , .Dv AUC_NOAUDIT , or .Dv AUC_DISABLED . If .Dv AUC_NOAUDIT is set, then auditing is temporarily suspended. If .Dv AUC_AUDITING is set, auditing is resumed. If .Dv AUC_DISABLED is set, the auditing system will shutdown, draining all audit records and closing out the audit trail file. t Dv A_SETCLASS Set the event class preselection mask for an audit event. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_evclass_map_t structure containing the audit event and mask. The field .Fa ec_number is the audit event and .Fa ec_class is the audit class mask. See .Xr audit_event 5 for more information on audit event to class mapping. t Dv A_SETPMASK Set the preselection masks for a process. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt auditpinfo_t structure that contains the given process's audit preselection masks for both success and failure. The field .Fa ap_pid is the process id of the target process. The field .Fa ap_mask must point to a .Fa au_mask_t structure which holds the preselection masks as described in the .Da A_SETKMASK section above. t Dv A_SETFSIZE Set the maximum size of the audit log file. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_fstat_t structure with the .Va af_filesz field set to the maximum audit log file size. A value of 0 indicates no limit to the size. t Dv A_SETKAUDIT Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_GETCLASS Return the event to class mapping for the designated audit event. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_evclass_map_t structure. See the .Dv A_SETCLASS section above for more information. t Dv A_GETKAUDIT Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_GETPINFO Return the audit settings for a process. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt auditpinfo_t structure which will be set to contain .Fa ap_auid (the audit ID), .Fa ap_mask (the preselection mask), .Fa ap_termid (the terminal ID), and .Fa ap_asid (the audit session ID) of the given target process. The process ID of the target process is passed into the kernel using the .Fa ap_pid field. See the section .Dv A_SETPMASK above and .Xr getaudit 2 for more information. t Dv A_GETPINFO_ADDR Return the extended audit settings for a process. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt auditpinfo_addr_t structure which is similar to the .Vt auditpinfo_addr_t structure described above. The exception is the .Fa ap_termid (the terminal ID) field which points to a .Vt au_tid_addr_t structure can hold much a larger terminal address and an address type. The process ID of the target process is passed into the kernel using the .Fa ap_pid field. See the section .Dv A_SETPMASK above and .Xr getaudit 2 for more information. t Dv A_GETKMASK Return the current kernel preselection masks. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_mask_t structure which will be set to the current kernel preselection masks for non-attributable events. t Dv A_GETPOLICY Return the current audit policy setting. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt long value which will be set to one of the current audit policy flags. The audit policy flags are described in the .Dv A_SETPOLICY section above. t Dv A_GETQCTRL Return the current kernel audit queue control parameters. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_qctrl_t structure which will be set to the current kernel audit queue control parameters. See the .Dv A_SETQCTL section above for more information. t Dv A_GETFSIZE Returns the maximum size of the audit log file. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt au_fstat_t structure. The .Va af_filesz field will be set to the maximum audit log file size. A value of 0 indicates no limit to the size. The .Va af_currsz field will be set to the current audit log file size. t Dv A_GETCWD [COMMENTED OUT]: Valid description, not yet implemented.
Return the current working directory as stored in the audit subsystem.
Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_GETCAR [COMMENTED OUT]: Valid description, not yet implemented.

subsystem.
Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_GETSTAT [COMMENTED OUT]: Valid description, not yet implemented.
Return the statistics stored in the audit system.
Return .Er ENOSYS . (Not implemented.) t Dv A_GETCOND Return the current auditing condition. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt long value which will be set to the current audit condition, one of .Dv AUC_AUDITING , .Dv AUC_NOAUDIT or .Dv AUC_DISABLED . See the .Dv A_SETCOND section above for more information. t Dv A_SENDTRIGGER Send a trigger to the audit daemon. The .Fa data argument must point to a .Vt long value set to one of the acceptable trigger values: .Dv AUDIT_TRIGGER_LOW_SPACE (low disk space where the audit log resides), .Dv AUDIT_TRIGGER_OPEN_NEW (open a new audit log file), .Dv AUDIT_TRIGGER_READ_FILE (read the
a audit_control file), .Dv AUDIT_TRIGGER_CLOSE_AND_DIE (close the current log file and exit), or .Dv AUDIT_TRIGGER_NO_SPACE (no disk space left for audit log file). .El .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std .Sh ERRORS The .Fn auditon function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er ENOSYS Returned by options not yet implemented. t Bq Er EFAULT A failure occurred while data transferred to or from the kernel failed. t Bq Er EINVAL Illegal argument was passed by a system call. t Bq Er EPERM The process does not have sufficient permission to complete the operation. .El
