AUDITD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual AUDITD(8)

NAME
auditd -- audit log management daemon

SYNOPSIS
auditd [-dhs]

DESCRIPTION
The auditd daemon responds to requests from the audit(1) utility and
notifications from the kernel. It manages the resulting audit log files
and specified log file locations.

The options are as follows:

-d Starts the daemon in debug mode - it will not daemonize.

The historical -h and -s flags are now configured using audit_control(5)
policy flags ahlt and cnt, and are no longer available as arguments to
auditd(8).

NOTE
To assure uninterrupted audit support, the auditd daemon should not be
started and stopped manually. Instead, the audit(8) command should be
used to inform the daemon to change state/configuration after altering
the audit_control file.

Sending a SIGTERM to a running auditd daemon will force it to exit.

FILES
/var/audit Default directory for storing audit log files.
