NAME         top

       libaudit.conf - libaudit configuration file

DESCRIPTION         top

       The file /etc/libaudit.conf contains configuration information
       for user space applications that link to libaudit. The
       applications are responsible for querying the settings in this
       file and obeying the admin's preferences. This file contains one
       configuration keyword per line, an equal sign, and then followed
       by appropriate configuration information. The keywords recognized
       are: failure_action.  These keywords are described below.

       failure_action
              This keyword specifies what action the admin wishes a user
              space application to take when there is a failure to send
              an audit event to the kernel. The possible values are:
              IGNORE
               - meaning do nothing, LOG - write to syslog the inability
              to send an audit event, and TERMINATE - the user space
              application should exit.
