Again, there is a README-rules file that explains how this works. If you have specific things that you would like to add, then make a file for it and place it in /etc/audit/rules.d where it will get combined with other rule files. README-rules gives suggestions about how to name the file for predictable inclusion. -Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Grubb <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, November 22, 2019 10:39 PM > To: [email protected] > Cc: Kadirvadivelu, Vezhavendan 1.
