  + <para>FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and later include support for fine-grained
  + security event auditing. Event auditing allows the reliable,
  + fine-grained, and configurable logging of a variety of
  + security-relevant system events, including logins, configuration
  + changes, and file and network access. These log records can be
  + invaluable for live system monitoring, intrusion detection, and
  + postmortem analysis. &os; implements &sun;'s published
  + <acronym>BSM</acronym> API and file format, and is interoperable with
  + both &sun;'s &solaris; and &apple;'s &macos; X audit implementations.</para>
  +
  + <para>This chapter focuses on the installation and configuration of
  + Event Auditing. It explains audit policies, and provides an example
  + audit configuration.</para>

  +
  + <warning>
  + <para>The audit facility in &os; 6.2 is experimental, and production
  + deployment should occur only after careful consideration of the
  + risks of deploying experimental software. Known limitations include
  + that not all security-relevant system events are currently auditable,
  + and that some login mechanisms, such as X11-based display managers
  + and third party daemons, do not properly configure auditing for user
  + login sessions.</para>
  + </warning>
  +
  + <warning>
  + <para>The security event auditing facility is able to generate very
  + detailed logs of system activity: on a busy system, trail file
  + data can be very large when configured for high detail, exceeding
  + gigabytes a week in some configurations. Administrators should take
  + into account disk space requirements associated with high volume
  + audit configurations. For example, it may be desirable to dedicate
  + a file system to the <filename>/var/audit</filename> tree so that
  + other file systems are not affected if the audit file system becomes
  + full.</para>

  + <title>Key Terms in this Chapter</title>
  +
  + <para>Before reading this chapter, a few key audit-related terms must be
  + explained:</para>
  +
  + <itemizedlist>
  + <listitem>
  + <para><emphasis>event</emphasis>: An auditable event is any event
  + that can be logged using the audit subsystem.
  + Examples of security-relevant events include the creation of
  + a file, the building of a network connection, or a user logging in.
  + Events are either <quote>attributable</quote>,
  + meaning that they can be traced to an authenticated user, or
  + <quote>non-attributable</quote> if they cannot be.
  + Examples of non-attributable events are any events that occur
  + before authentication in the login process, such as bad password
  + attempts.</para>
  + </listitem>
  +
  + <listitem>
  + <para><emphasis>class</emphasis>: Event classes are named sets of
  + related events, and are used in selection expressions. Commonly
  + used classes of events include <quote>file creation</quote> (fc),
  + <quote>exec</quote> (ex) and <quote>login_logout</quote>
  + (lo).</para>
  + </listitem>
  +
  + <listitem>
  + <para><emphasis>record</emphasis>: A record is an audit log entry
  + describing a security event. Records contain a record event type,
  + information on the subject (user) performing the action,
  + date and time information, information on any objects or
  + arguments, and a success or failure condition.</para>
  + </listitem>
  +
  + <listitem>
  + <para><emphasis>trail</emphasis>: An audit trail, or log file,
  + consists of a series of audit records describing security
  + events. Typically, trails are in roughly chronological
  + order with respect to the time events completed. Only
  + authorized processes are allowed to commit records to the
  + audit trail.</para>
  + </listitem>
  +
  + <listitem>
  + <para><emphasis>selection expression</emphasis>: A selection
  + expression is a string containing a list of prefixes and audit
  + event class names used to match events.</para>
  + </listitem>
  +
  + <listitem>
  + <para><emphasis>preselection</emphasis>: The process by which the
  + system identifies which events are of interest to the administrator
