NAME
       auditdistd -- Audit trail files distribution daemon

SYNOPSIS
       auditdistd [-dFhl] [-c config] [-P pidfile]

DESCRIPTION
       The auditdistd daemon is	responsible for	distributing audit trail files
       over a TCP/IP network in	a secure and reliable way.

       The  auditdistd	daemon	can be started with the	following command line
       arguments:

       -c config   Specify an alternative location of the configuration	 file.
		   The	 default  location  is	/etc/security/auditdistd.conf.
		   Note: the configuration file	may contain  passwords.	  Care
		   should  be  taken  to  configure proper permissions on this
		   file	(eg. 0600).

       -d	   Print or log	debugging information.	 This  option  can  be
		   specified multiple times to raise the verbosity level.

       -F	   Start  the auditdistd daemon	in the foreground.  By default
		   auditdistd starts in	the background.

       -h	   Print the auditdistd	usage message.

       -l	   Start in a launchd-friendly mode, ie. do not	use daemon(3).

       -P pidfile  Specify an  alternative  location  of  a  file  where  main
		   process  PID	 will  be  stored.   The  default  location is
		   /var/run/auditdistd.pid.

FILES

       /var/run/auditdistd.pid	      The default location of  the  auditdistd
				      PID file.

EXIT STATUS
       Exit  status  is	 0  on	success,  or  one  of  the values described in
       sysexits(3) on failure.
