BSMTRACE(1)		     General Commands Manual		     BSMTRACE(1)

NAME
     bsmtrace -- host-based IDS based on OpenBSM

SYNOPSIS
     bsmtrace [-bdFhv] [-a trail] [-f config_file] [-p pid_file]

DESCRIPTION
     BSMtrace is a utility that processes audit trails, or real-time audit feeds
     provided  by  audit  pipes.  It loads a set of finite state machines or se-
     quences from the supplied configuration file and watches the audit  streams
     for  instances  of these sequences.  For more information, the example bsm-
     trace.conf file should be reviewed.

     It operates by reading a configuration  file  that  lists	sequences  which
     should   result   in   actions.   The   default   configuration   file   is
     /etc/bsmtrace.conf.  BSM records are  taken  from	/dev/auditpipe	and  run
     through  a finite state machine which attempts to match a stream of records
     to defined sequences.

OPTIONS
     -a trail	     Audit trail to be examined.

     -b 	     Dump the last BSM record which results in a sequence  match
		     to stdout.

     -d 	     Print debugging messages.

     -f config_file  Location of config file.

     -F 	     Run program in foreground.

     -h 	     Print this help message.

     -p pid_file     Location of pid file.

     -v 	     Print version and exit.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The bsmtrace utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

     /dev/auditpipe	    Default source for BSM records.
