NAME

audusr — select users to audit

SYNOPSIS

audusr [[-a user] ...] [[-d user] ...] [-A|-D]

DESCRIPTION

audusr is used to specify users to be audited or excluded from auditing. The audusr command only works for systems that have been converted to trusted mode.

To select users to audit on systems that have not been converted to trusted mode, the TrustedMigration product needs to be installed and the userdbset command is used. See also audit(5), userdbset(1M), userdb(4), and AUDIT_FLAG in security(4).

If no arguments are specified, audusr displays the audit setting of every user. audusr is restricted to superusers.

Options

audusr recognizes the following options:

-a user

Audit the specified user. The auditing system records audit records to the ``current'' audit file when the specified user executes audited events or system calls. Use audevent to specify events to be audited (see audevent(1M)).

-d user

Do not audit the specified user.

-A

Audit all users.

-D

Do not audit any users.

The -A and -D options are mutually exclusive: that is, if -A is specified, -d cannot be specified; if -D is specified, -a cannot be specified.

Users specified with audusr are audited (or excluded from auditing) beginning with their next login session, until excluded from auditing (or specified for auditing) with a subsequent audusr invocation. Users already logged into the system when audusr is invoked are unaffected during that login session; however, any user who logs in after audusr is invoked is audited or excluded from auditing accordingly.

AUTHOR

audusr was developed by HP.
