This is my first question of the mailing list and I hope that I haven't missed something too obvious here. I'm new to auditd, but it sounds like it will do precisely what I wish to do. I'd like to track user movements from the point of login to logout. I've been figuring out most everything fine, but one question remains that I haven't found a clear answer to. Is it possible to make auditd use syslog to output it's logs? I'd like to use syslog to centrally rollup the auditd logs of all of the secure systems. If this isn't possible, is it due to security concerns? I know that the api to use syslog is fairly simple, so the lack of the feature shouldn't be complexity. I did do searches for this information, so I apologize if I missed this question elsewhere. Thanks for your time.. -Chris S. --=-xAdJcA5zq84bK4VZXvKv Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Hello, all.
