By +default, the kernel does not audit input on any TTY. + +OPTIONS + +disable=patterns + + For each user matching one of comma-separated glob patterns, disable TTY + auditing. This overrides any previous enable option matching the same user + name on the command line. + +enable=patterns + + For each user matching one of comma-separated glob patterns, enable TTY + auditing. This overrides any previous disable option matching the same user + name on the command line. + +open_only + + Set the TTY audit flag when opening the session, but do not restore it when + closing the session. Using this option is necessary for some services that + don't fork() to run the authenticated session, such as sudo. + +NOTES + +When TTY auditing is enabled, it is inherited by all processes started by that +user. In particular, daemons restarted by an user will still have TTY auditing +enabled, and audit TTY input even by other users unless auditing for these +users is explicitly disabled. Therefore, it is recommended to use disable=* as +the first option for most daemons using PAM. + +To view the data that was logged by the kernel to audit use the command +aureport --tty. + +EXAMPLES + +Audit all administrative actions. + +session required pam_tty_audit.so disable=* enable=root + + +AUTHOR + +pam_tty_audit was written by Miloslav Trmač <mitr@redhat.com>. + |
