capture mount event in /var/log/audit/audit.log
by Betty Man
Hi Everyone,
in RHEL 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.el5 audit-1.7.17-3.el5
Have the following in the /etc/audit/audit.rules
## non-privilege users using mount command.
-a exit,always -F arch=b32 -S mount -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k export
-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S mount -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k export
from a general user account
$ mount /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
mount: only root can do that
but /var/log/audit/audit.log does not capture this event
Any input is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Betty

-F dir=/nfs/path ?
by Peter Moody
How does auditd perform on a rule like the following, assuming that
/home/ is an nfs mount?
-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S open -F dir=/home/ -F a2&2 -F success=1
-C euid!=obj_uid -k
Does this become a watch rule (and to watch rules even work with nfs)?
Assuming that the mount map for /home/ is giant (several K entries),
does this run the risk of filling fsnotify (inotify?) watch lists?
Cheers,
peter

auditing syscalls made 'by' an inode?
by Peter Moody
Is there anyway to audit syscalls made by a particular, not yet
running, application? For example, if I'm interested in seeing all
exec's by google-chrome, can I do something like the following?
auditctl -a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S execve -F success=1 -F
inode=inode-of-chrome
experimenting seems to indicate that will only tell me when
inode-of-chrome is exec'd, basically a watch rule.
The sort of inverse of this rule that got me thinking about this
initially was auditing a syscall and seeing if it was/wasn't called by
a particular program. For example, audting all bind() calls which
*aren't* made by chrome (a silly rule to be sure, but just thrown out
as a hypothetical)
If it's not possible to do this now, is there interest in adding this feature?
Cheers,
peter
