Hi All,

I have some disk less workstations upon which I wish to collect audit.
Once a workstation is running, I periodically transmit audit in
compressed batches of enriched audit (i.e. "ausearch -i" output is
sent).

My question is:
To collect AND transmit audit until the last possible moment, is the
logical place to perform the last collection and transmission operation
within the 'stop' function of /etc/init.d/auditd ?

The enrichment (calling ausearch -i) rules out syslog.

Thanks in advance

Burn

For sysVinit systems, yes.
