NAME
       audit_binfile - generation of Solaris audit logs

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/security/audit_binfile.so

DESCRIPTION
       The  audit_binfile  plugin  module  for	Solaris	 audit, /usr/lib/secu‐
       rity/audit_binfile.so, writes binary audit data to files as  configured
       in  audit_control(4);  it  is  the default plugin for the Solaris audit
       daemon auditd(1M). Its output is described by audit.log(4).

       The audit_binfile plugin is loaded by auditd if audit_control  contains
       one or more lines defining audit directories by means of the dir: spec‐
       ification  or  if  audit_control	 has  a	  plugin:   specification   of
       name=audit_binfile.so.

OBJECT ATTRIBUTES
       The  p_dir and p_minfree attributes are equivalent to the dir: and min‐
       free: lines described in audit_control. If both the dir: line  and  the
       p_dir  attribute	 are  used, the plugin combines all directories into a
       single list with those specified by means of dir: at the front  of  the
       list.  If  both the minfree and the p_minfree attributes are given, the
       p_minfree value is used.

       The p_fsize attribute defines the maximum size in bytes that  an	 audit
       file  can become before it is automatically closed and a new audit file
       opened. This is equivalent to an administrator issuing an audit -n com‐
       mand  when  the	audit file contains the specified number of bytes. The
       default size is zero (0), which allows the file to grow without	bound.
       The   value   specified	 must	be   within  the  range	 of  [512,000,
       2,147,483,647].

EXAMPLES
       The following directives cause audit_binfile.so to be  loaded,  specify
       the  directories	 for writing audit logs, and specify the percentage of
       required free space per directory.

	 flags: lo,ad,-fm
	 naflags: lo,ad
	 plugin: name=audit_binfile.so;\
	 p_minfree=20;\
	 p_dir=/etc/security/jedgar/eggplant,\
	 /etc/security/jedgar.aux/eggplant,\
	 /etc/security/global/eggplant
