Is this possible?

Is this a good idea?

Subject: [osol-discuss] Project Proposal: auditd audit_snmptrap plugin


This seems overboard to suggest a project for the addition of an auditd
plugin, but I didn't see any other way to be able to get the code that I am
about to write into the base source control.

Basically, I was going to use the audit_syslog plugin for auditd to send
login/logout information to a remote syslogd host and then parse that output
and send it to a snmp trap daemon.  That started to get crazy and I started
to worry about how normalized my data was really going to be.  So.. I
decided to write my own plugin and solve the whole crazy setup.

So what I propose is:

1.  Creation of a new Solaris library called libsnmptrap whose purpose will
be to read a file named snmpd.conf for community and trap destination
information.  The format of this file will be the same as the Net-snmp's
snmpd.conf(so that people don't have to worry about a conflict or
duplication of the same information).  The purpose of this library will be
to construct simple v1 SNMP Traps that contain Solaris audit information.
2.  Creation of a Solaris Audit SNMP MIB with information on Traps that can
be generated.
3.  The creation of a new auditd plugin named
snmptrap(/on/usr/src/lib/auditd_plugins/snmptrap) which would be loadable
through /etc/security/audit_control via the same method as audit_syslog.so.
This plugin would send traps to the traphost defined in the snmpd.conf in
/etc/.  Special traps will be created for start/end operations(login start,
login out) which will provide the ability to have applications like HP
OpenView and NetCool to autoclear the SNMP Trap events.

The benefits of this plugin at the very least would be Big Brother
login/logout monitoring of servers by a NMS system.

Comments/Suggestions?

Thanks,

Anthony
