160.Ed
161.Pp
162Most of the various available configuration parameters are optional.
163If a parameter is not defined in the particular section, it will be
164inherited from the parent section if possible.
165For example, if the
166.Ic source
167parameter is not defined in the
168.Ic host
169section, it will be inherited from the
170.Ic sender
171section.
172In case the
173.Ic global
174section does not define the
175.Ic source
176parameter at all, the default value will be used.

179.Bl -tag -width ".Ic xxxx"
180.It Ic name Aq name

186.Pp
187Connection timeout in seconds.
188The default value is
189.Va 5 .
190.It Ic pidfile Aq path

197.Pa /var/run/auditdistd.pid .
198.It Ic source Aq addr
199.Pp
200Local address to bind to before connecting to the remote

206.It Ic directory Aq path
207.Pp
208The directory where to look for audit trail files in case of sender mode, or
209the directory where to store received audit trail files.
210The provided path has to be an absolute path.
211The only exception is when the directory is provided in the
212.Ic receiver
213section; then the path provided in the
214.Ic host
215subsections can be relative to the directory in the
216.Ic receiver
217section.
218The default value is
219.Pa /var/audit/dist
220for the entire
221.Ic sender
222section,
223.Pa /var/audit/remote
224for the non-host
225.Ic receiver
226section and
227.Pa /var/audit/remote/<name>
228for the
229.Ic host
230subsections in the
231.Ic receiver
232section where
233.Aq name
234is the host's name.
235.\".It Ic checksum Aq algorithm
236.\".Pp
237.\"Checksum algorithm should be one of the following:
238.\".Bl -tag -width ".Ic sha256"
239.\".It Ic none
240.\"No checksum will be calculated for the data being sent over the network.
241.\"This is the default setting.
242.\".It Ic crc32
243.\"CRC32 checksum will be calculated.
244.\".It Ic sha256
245.\"SHA256 checksum will be calculated.
246.\".El

263.It Ic remote Aq addr
264.Pp
265Address of the remote

270statement.
271When operating in
272.Ic sender
273mode this address will be used to connect to the

277mode only connections from this address will be accepted.
278.It Ic listen Aq addr
279.Pp
280Address to listen on in form of:
281.Bd -literal -offset indent
282protocol://protocol-specific-address
283.Ed

316.Bd -literal
317# openssl x509 -in /etc/security/auditdistd.cert.pem -noout -fingerprint -sha256 | awk -F '[ =]' '{printf("%s=%s\\n", $1, $3)}'
