    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=AD
        ing  facility from /proc/audit, filter them, and save them
        in specific log files.  For the moment, auditd  only  sup=AD
        ports the -t option, which enables audit trails timestamp=AD
        ing. Other command line options will  probably  be  imple=AD
        mented in the next releases to add more flexibility to the
        package.
                                                           =20

    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. :)=20
    
    	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,=20
    	  uid, and pid.=20
    
    		- 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:
