2006.02.23

OpenBSM a security audit implementation based on Apple's bsm library has been released at http://www.openbsm.org.

OpenBSM is an open source implementation of Sun's Basic Security Module (BSM) Audit API and file format. BSM, the de facto industry standard for Audit, describes a set of system call and library interfaces for managing audit records, as well as a token stream file format that permits extensible and generalized audit trail processing. OpenBSM extends the BSM API and file format in a number of ways to support features present in the Mac OS X and FreeBSD operating systems, such as Mach task interfaces, sendfile(), and Linux system calls present in the FreeBSD Linux emulation layer.
