527Smack auditing
528
529If you want Smack auditing of security events, you need to set CONFIG_AUDIT
530in your kernel configuration.
531By default, all denied events will be audited. You can change this behavior by
532writing a single character to the /smack/logging file :
5330 : no logging
5341 : log denied (default)
5352 : log accepted
5363 : log denied & accepted
537
538Events are logged as 'key=value' pairs, for each event you at least will get
539the subjet, the object, the rights requested, the action, the kernel function
540that triggered the event, plus other pairs depending on the type of event
541audited.
