AUDIT_USER(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual AUDIT_USER(5) NAME audit_user -- specifies events to be audited for the given users DESCRIPTION The audit_user file specifies which audit event classes are to be audited for the given users. If specified, these flags are combined with the system-wide audit flags in the audit_control file to determine which classes of events to audit for that user. These settings take effect when the user logs in. Each line maps a user name to a list of classes that should be audited and a list of classes that should not be audited. Entries are of the form: username:alwaysaudit:neveraudit In the format above, alwaysaudit is a set of event classes that are always audited, and neveraudit is a set of event classes that should not be audited. These sets can indicate the inclusion or exclusion of multi- ple classes, and whether to audit successful or failed events. See audit_control(5) for more information about audit flags. Example entries in this file are: root:lo,ad:no jdoe:-fc,ad:+fw These settings would cause login/logout and administrative events that succeed on behalf of user root to be audited. No failure events are audited. For the user jdoe, failed file creation events are audited, administrative events are audited, and successful file write events are never audited.
