Hello,
Many thanks for your answer. I will try your suggestion but what if a user makes a copy of
the su executable to let's say under /tmp and execute /tmp/su . Will this be audited
using the rule you suggest?

We have setup various rules, so far successfully. Our last
requirement is to have audit log, when a user execute the su - or su
- root, or sudo su I write the following rule , but it does not work
-a always,exit -S su
This ^^^ is the problem. The -S switch is for system calls. To see a
list of system calls you can run "ausyscall --dump". Su is a
program and not a syscall. So, you would place a watch on it like this:
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/su -F perm=x -F auid>=200 -F
auid!=4294967295 -F key=su-execution
-Steve
-F auid>=200 -F auid!=4294967295 -F
key=su-execution How can I audit log the execution of the su command?
Best regards
