Audit for Slackware



The Linux Auditing System is a kernel subsystem the allows the kernel to 

record events of interest to intrusion detection systems, such as file 

access attempts, specific system calls, or custom events generated by 

trusted system binaries like login or sshd.  The audit package provides the 

tools to configure the audit system, and to collect and process its output.



To collect audit events, your kernel must have the audit system enabled, 

which is present in the stock Slackware kernels.



The audit package has no other dependencies. However, certain audit events 

of interest, such as failed login attempts from /bin/login, password changes, 

etcetera are generated by their respective binaries using libaudit.  If your 

site policy requires auditing those events, some reconfiguration and/or 

patching may be required.
