auditing files which are executed?
by Brennan, William C
Okay, I'm a newbie, so excuse this question if the answer seems obvious.
I've looked at auditctl to see how it can help us audit several
different conditions, but I can't figure out how to do the following:
How do I configure parameters for auditctl to make an audit record every
time a file is executed?

audit 1.6.6 released
by Steve Grubb
Hi,
I've just released a new version of the audit daemon. It can be downloaded
from http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit It will also be in rawhide
soon. The Changelog is:
- Add prelude IDS plugin for IDMEF alerts
- Add --user option to aulastlog command
- Spec file cleanups
This release adds an audispd plugin that watches for certain audit events in
real-time and sends an IDMEF alert when it sees something notable. I will
publish a HOWTO in a couple days to show how to go about setting up prelude
and registering this plugin. The events it is currently able to send are:
logins, max falied logins, max concurrent sessions, SE Linux AVCs, and apps
that abnormally terminate. I'll add more in the future. To build this plugin,
you need to add a --with-prelude to the configure command.
Please let me know if you run across any problems with this release.

Problem with ausearch_set_param
by Mukul Khullar
I am trying to use ausearch_set_param, but the same when used along with
proper arguments, doesn't compile and gives an undefined reference. Is there
some particular library which is to be included to use ausearch_set_param ?
Eg code : ausearch_set_param(au, "auid", "=", "500", AUSEARCH_STOP_EVENT))
Error is : /tmp/cciCPMs9.o: In function `main':
parselib.c:(.text+0x61): undefined reference to
`ausearch_set_param'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Please help,
Thanking you,

Same code tried with file pointer is working properly that is
auparse_init(AUSOURCE_FILE_POINTER, <<File Pointer>>).
But when tried with buffer is neither giving output nor error.
auparse_init(AUSOURCE_BUFFER, <<buffer address>>).

PATH field questions
by Matthew Booth
Sorry for not batching these. There shouldn't be any more in the
immediate future :)
In PATH can anybody point me to:
The meaning of the first 3 characters of the mode field.
The meaning of rdev.
Thanks,
Matt

Re: Linux-audit Digest, Vol 40, Issue 9
by kunal chandarana
In audit logs fields are generated for specific type. Each log has different
type and depending on type there are different fields shown in
audit.logfiles. Is there a way to map this audit type to the fields.
Like if i have type=XYZ then log will contain n fields. So how to find these
N fields.?

Meaning of SYSCALL fields
by Matthew Booth
I'm documenting the fields of certain auditd messages for RHEL 4.
Amongst the SYSCALL fields are the following uid/gid related fields.
uid (obvious)
gid (obvious)
euid (obvious)
suid - what's this?
fsuid - what's this?
egid (obvious)
sgid - what's this?
fsgid - what's this?
Can anybody fill in the blanks for me?
Thanks,
Matt

difficulty with TYPE
by Abhishek Gupta
i tried to run auditdispatcher from
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/audit-rt-events.txt with little
modification.
i converted TYPE numeric value to name using audit library function
"audit_msg_type_to_name".
Then i printed audit TYPE number with corresponding name using above
function.
The program is running fine but i have little doubt.
i restarted audit daemon
i changed login to some other user and back to root. to generate records as
USER_LOGIN,USER_AUTH,etc
and looked to syslog where i have printed messages from program.
I got this output :
type=1305 typename=CONFIG_CHANGE, payload size=110
type=539770685 typename=(null), payload size=1836213620
type=1836213620 typename=(null), payload size=1818324585
type=1702109228 typename=(null), payload size=1852403058
first one is ok but look at the rest lines.
so what does type=539770685means? how does this numeric values maps to
USER_AUTH,USER_ACCT,etc
why typename coming out to be null?
Please help.
