31.Dt AUDIT_USER 5
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm audit_user
35.Nd "specifies events to be audited for the given users"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39file specifies which audit event classes are to be audited for the given users.
40If specified, these flags are combined with the system-wide audit flags in the
41.Pa audit_control
42file to determine which classes of events to audit for that user.
43These settings take effect when the user logs in.
44.Pp
45Each line maps a user name to a list of classes that should be audited and a
46list of classes that should not be audited.
47Entries are of the form of
48.Dl username:alwaysaudit:neveraudit ,
49where
50.Vt alwaysaudit
51is a set of event classes that are always audited, and
52.Vt neveraudit
53is a set of event classes that should not be audited.
54These sets can indicate
55the inclusion or exclusion of multiple classes, and whether to audit successful
56or failed events.
57See
58.Xr audit_control 5
59for more information about audit flags.
60.Pp
61Example entries in this file are:
62.Bd -literal -offset indent
63root:lo,ad:no
64jdoe:-fc,ad:+fw
65.Ed
66.Pp
67These settings would cause login and administrative events that succeed on
68behalf of user root to be audited.
69No failure events are audited.
70For the user
71.Em jdoe ,
72failed file creation events are audited, administrative events are
73audited, and successful file write events are never audited.
