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 sequences from the supplied configuration file and watches the audit
       streams for instances of	these sequences.  For  more  information,  the
       example bsmtrace.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.
