AUDITD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual AUDITD(8) NAME auditd -- audit log management daemon SYNOPSIS auditd [-dhs] DESCRIPTION The auditd daemon responds to requests from the audit(1) utility and notifications from the kernel. It manages the resulting audit log files and specified log file locations. The options are as follows: -d Starts the daemon in debug mode - it will not daemonize. The historical -h and -s flags are now configured using audit_control(5) policy flags ahlt and cnt, and are no longer available as arguments to auditd(8). NOTE To assure uninterrupted audit support, the auditd daemon should not be started and stopped manually. Instead, the audit(8) command should be used to inform the daemon to change state/configuration after altering the audit_control file. Sending a SIGTERM to a running auditd daemon will force it to exit. FILES /var/audit Default directory for storing audit log files. SEE ALSO audit(8) AUTHORS This software was created by McAfee Research, the security research divi- sion of McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc.
