patch to add audit enhancements

This patch provides the needed updates to log important events into the audit
system. This is needed for IBM's eal/CAPP certification. If you could please
review this patch and build at the first opportunity, that would be
appreciated. IBM needs all rpms that are part of the certification this week.
Thanks!

Comment 3 Steve Grubb 2005-06-21 21:32:04 UTC
You will need to add BuildRequires: audit-libs-devel >= 0.9.8

IBM found some problems in the previous patch. A new one is attached that
better identifies the account or group being modified. Please apply it. Thanks.

IBM found a couple more records that needed fixing. This patch corrects those
problems. We need to build another candidate release. Thanks.

Comment 9 Steve Grubb 2005-07-28 10:47:47 UTC
HP's testing shows another problem. chage records changes when done from the
command line, but not via the interactive session. I will correct the latest
patch  and attach.

This patch adds logging for chage when it goes into interactive mode.

Comment 13 Steve Grubb 2005-08-29 20:01:29 UTC
The CAPP requirements is to log any change to an account attribute. The
necessary information is: who did it (loginuid), the acct affected, the
operation being performed, and the results. The progams affected are: chage,
gpasswd, groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, useradd, userdel, & usermod.

Comment 14 Steve Grubb 2005-08-29 20:05:40 UTC
There is one change that should be made for FC4 & rawhide. The audit_help_open
function should detect some other errno's in case it is running on a custome
kernel. It should be:

+void audit_help_open(void)
+{
+#ifdef WITH_AUDIT
+	audit_fd = audit_open();
+	if (audit_fd < 0) {
+		/* You get these only when the kernel doesn't have
+		 * audit compiled in. */
+		if (errno == EINVAL || errno == EPROTONOSUPPORT ||
+                               errno == EAFNOSUPPORT)
+			return;
+		fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open audit interface - aborting.\n");
+		exit(1);
+	}
+#endif
+}
