NAME
       audit_user - per-user auditing data file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/security/audit_user

DESCRIPTION
       audit_user  is  a  database  that stores per-user auditing preselection
       data. You can use the audit_user file with other authorization sources,
       including  the NIS map audit_user.byname and the NIS+ table audit_user.
       Programs use the getauusernam(3BSM) routines to	access	this  informa‐
       tion.

       The  search order for multiple user audit information sources is speci‐
       fied in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. See nsswitch.conf(4).  The	lookup
       follows the search order for passwd(4).

       The  fields  for each user entry are separated by colons (:). Each user
       is separated from the next by a newline. audit_user does not have  gen‐
       eral read permission. Each entry in the audit_user file has the form:

	 username:always-audit-flags:never-audit-flags

       The fields are defined as follows:

       username		     User's login name.

       always-audit-flags    Flags specifying event classes to always audit.

       never-audit-flags     Flags specifying event classes to never audit.

       For  a complete description of the audit flags and how to combine them,
       see audit_control(4).

NOTES
       This functionality is available only if the Basic Security Module (BSM)
       has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for more information.

       Configuration changes do not affect audit sessions that	are  currently
       running, as the changes do not modify a process's preselection mask. To
       change the preselection mask on a running process,  use	the  -setpmask
       option  of  the	auditconfig command (see auditconfig(1M)). If the user
       logs out and logs back in, the new configuration changes are  reflected
       in the next audit session.

       This  file and name service database is Obsolete and may be removed and
       replaced by equivalent functionality in a future release of Solaris.
