I have a quick question about the name_format parameter in audispd.con= f. When selecting options that require a dns lookup are these issued for ea= ch record, or is the dns lookup issued one-time at startup? If dns lookup i= s done for each record I’d prefer to use USER and NAME to force the issue, though if not I’d rather jus= t use the same file on all my servers.
 
I want to log both locally and to a central server. So which file shou= ld this be specified in /etc/audit/auditd.conf or /etc/audisp/audispd.conf = or both?
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 
Regards,

They are independent of each other. -Steve From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Steve Grubb Subject: Re: auditd.conf/audispd.conf question...

If you want the node name in both places, then you need to put it in both places. At a minimum, you would want it in audispd.conf so that the central logger knows where things come from. But you can leave it off the auditd.conf to save disk space unless you need it to match. -Steve
