NAME
     audit_user - per-user auditing data file

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/security/audit_user

DESCRIPTION
     audit_user is  an  access-restricted  database  that  stores
     per-user auditing preselection data. The audit_user file can
     be used with other authorization sources, including the  NIS
     map  audit_user.byname  and  the NIS+ table audit_user. Pro-
     grams use the getauusernam(3BSM)  routines  to  access  this
     information.

     The search order for multiple user audit information sources
     is specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, as described in
     the nsswitch.conf(4) man page. The lookup follows the search
     order for passwd(4).

     The fields for each user entry are separated by colons  (:).
     Each   user  is  separated  from  the  next  by  a  newline.
     audit_user does not have general read permission.

     Each entry in the audit_user file has the form:

          username:always-audit-flags:never-audit-flags

     The fields are defined as follows:

     username
           The user's login name.

     always-audit-flags
           Flags specifying event classes to always audit.

     never-audit-flags
           Flags specifying event classes to never audit.

     For a complete description of the audit  flags  and  how  to
     combine them, see the audit_control(4) man page.
