Hello,
I would like to point out 2 new standards that have been posted to the linux
audit web page. The first establishes the events around system start up and
shutdown. This is important because it sets the session boundaries for when a
system is up or down or crashed.
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/system-lifecycle.txt
The second standard is more of a forward looking standard. It explains how the
audit daemon and utilities will perform event enrichment before being stored
long term in an aggregator. The target for implementation is the 2.5 release
of the audit daemon.

Let me know if anyone has feedback on these standards, especially the second
one.
Were these two specification documents created based on published
standards from an established standards body, e.g. NIST, IETF, etc?
If so, I think it would be helpful for you to reference the published
standard in your documents. If these specifications are an early
draft standard intended to be submitted to a standards body then I
would recommend mentioning the intended group in the document.
