[PATCH] audit=0 appears not to completely disable auditing
by Steve Grubb
Hi,
There was a bz, 231371, reporting that current upstream kernels do not completely
disable auditing when boot with audit=0 and the audit daemon not configured to
run. You can reproduce the problem by:
service auditd stop
auditctl -e 0
auditctl -w /etc/passwd
and you'd get an event in syslog:
Mar 9 15:43:04 localhost kernel: audit(1173472984.321:982): auid=4294967295
subj=user_u:system_r:auditctl_t:s0 op=add rule key=(null) list=4 res=1
The patch below solves this problem by checking audit_enabled before creating
an audit event.

[PATCH] Make IPC mode consistent

Hi,
The mode fields for IPC records are not consistent. Some are hex, others are
octal. This patch makes them all octal.

Re: ssh in SLES10 SP1 RC2
by Michael Folsom
Folks:
Thanks!
Checked and SLES10/SLED10 SP1 rc2 and rc3 are both running openssh 4.2p1-18.
Looks like monitoring logouts won't happen in Suse Enterprise land
till SSH get reved to a newer version!
Be well,
Michael

Identifying writes to NFS
by Matthew Booth
I'd like to be able to reliably recognise a PATH record which refers to
an NFS mount. It seems that dev=00:xx would be related to the answer.
However, each mount seems to have its own value of xx, and other mounts
not backed by a block device, eg /proc and /dev, also have dev=00:xx.
The answer can't be related to a single system, as the solution has to
be rolled out across a large estate with a variety of nfs mounts on
particular servers.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Matt

AUDIT_AVC_PATH problems
by Alexander Viro
Selinux folks had been complaining about the lack of AVC_PATH
records when audit is disabled. I must admit my stupidity - I assumed
that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of
deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held).
Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way.
It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those.
Since audit_log_d_path() uses ab->gfp_mask for allocations, kmalloc()
in there is not a problem. IOW, the simple fix should be sufficient: let's
rip AUDIT_AVC_PATH out and simply generate pathname as part of main record.
It's trivial to do. Patch below is against the mainline, rhel5 variant
is also trivial.
Comments?

Offline configuration
by Robert Evans
Hi,
Now that I've got auditing to work on Fedora Core, I have a few more questions.
First, the boxes I've got it working on are connected to the internet and have
the latest updates. Now I need to make stuff work on boxes that are *not*
connected to the internet and are built off of the base CD/DVD.
I know I need the latest versions of the following packages on a system
audit
audit-lib
glibc-kernheaders
openssh
openssh-server
openssh-client
openssh-askpass
openssh-askpass-gnome
Do I need the latest of
audit-libs-devel
kernel
as well?
Also, what other packages are critical to get NISPOM compliance? Even when I
updated the above packages, it didn't look like failed logins on the gnome
desktop were generating events. I realize this may be particular to RHEL_64,
but I also figured I could just have an outdated package.
I'm asking this because when I set up my audit rules on RHEL4_64 with the base
auditing installed (none of the above updates). I wasn't getting any
login/logout events at all, based on my initial experience with the initial
Fedora configurations, I assume that I need to install updated packages.
I'm not using watches right now, only syscalls, which seem to catch everything I
need. It seems like Steve has put enough information in the event logs that it
is possible to build a GUI that parses, combines, and then displays the event
logs to the user. Each displayed event is on a single line and contains the
pertinent information about the event.
The only gotcha I had with FC5 was that I needed the updated openssh packages to
generate the events that indicated a logout event for ssh.

Could this be an issue in Suse's implementation of audit?
Thanks!

monitoring both logins and logouts via ssh
by Michael Folsom
Hi:
Working with audit (ver=1.2.9) on SLES10 sp1 rc2 and wonder if it was
possible to monitor both logins and logouts. Currently my system is
recording when a user logs in but not when they log out of a ssh
session. Is this even possible?
Thanks -

AUDIT Rules
by Paul Whitney
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Can someone tell me what is the correct syntax for successfully or failing
to modify a file using the chmod command? I have :
- -a exit,possible -S chmod -F success=0 -F success!=0
- -a exit,possible -S fchmod -F success=0 -F success!=0
But I am not able to audit the event. As a regular user I try to change the
permissions of /etc/shadow. The action fails (as expected) but does not get
audited.
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Auditd and Watches
by Simmons Jr,Felix
All,
This is my first post to the list so...be gentle ;) Anyway, I'm trying
to get some monitoring going where I plan on using auditd to monitor
changes to files I deem important. Currently I have a watch on one file
(called important_file), I've given a key so I can find events related
to my one important file. Below is my watch:
[root@XXXX-22 ~]# auditctl -l
No rules
AUDIT_WATCH_LIST: dev=104:2, path=/var/tmp/important_test,
filterkey=test-file, perms=wa, valid=0
I've got no rules in my audit.rules (except -D and the -b 256 default).
My question is this (about time eh?) even though the only rule I have in
my rules is a single watch on a file, I'm getting all sorts of other
events in my /var/log/audit/audit.log. A lot of it are don't care items
at this phase and would only aid in growing my log files. Is there
something I'm missing that can turn off the additional chatter in the
logs? Below are some examples:

Basically I'm trying to chunk the logs down so my host based ids can
snag the events and alert accordingly. I'm pretty new to linux auditd
and I'm coming from the Solaris BSM Audit school of thought. Steve if
you're reading this, thanks for your time and effort keeping linux
auditd going.
