looking for help in coming up to speed with auditd
by larry.erdahl@usbank.com
I'm new to auditd, and have been assign to come up with a "best practice"
standard for the deployment and audit settings for Linux servers using
auditd, Other then the man pages does anyone have any suggestions for
"best practices", books or training courses that would help me get a
better understanding of auditd and its syntax?
Any help would be most appreciated, thanks...

auditd log files
by Brian Ross
I would like to know how I can read the auditd log files stored in /var/log/audit.d.
I have a problem where the auditd system seems to go haywire, fills the /var filesystem up to its maximum allowed 80% and then starts to try and delete the old log files but the /var filesystem keeps filling up, at which point it ceases execution and then I have SysEdge reporting a massive CPU load and the whole server locks up.
I believe the auditd system's behavior is symptomatic, rather than the cause of the problem. I note that the auditd log files are in some binary format. Is there a means to read them?
cheers
