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

204.It Ic directory Aq path
205.Pp
206Directory where to look for audit trail files in case of sender mode or
207directory where to store received audit trail files.
208The provided path has to be an absolute path.
209The only exception is when directory is provided in the
210.Ic receiver
211section, then path provided in the
212.Ic host
213subsections can be relative to the directory in the
214.Ic receiver
215section.
216The default value is
217.Pa /var/audit/dist
218for the entire
219.Ic sender
220section,
221.Pa /var/audit/remote

223.Ic receiver
224section and
225.Pa /var/audit/remote/<name>

230section where
231.Aq name
232is host's name.
233.\".It Ic checksum Aq algorithm
