NAME

vfs_full_audit − record Samba VFS operations in the system log

SYNOPSIS

vfs objects = full_audit

DESCRIPTION

This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

The vfs_full_audit VFS module records selected client operations to the system log using syslog(3).

vfs_full_audit is able to record the complete set of Samba VFS operations:

chdir
chflags
chmod
chmod_acl
chown
close
closedir
connect
copy_chunk_send
copy_chunk_recv
disconnect
disk_free
fchmod
fchmod_acl
fchown
fget_nt_acl
fgetxattr
flistxattr
fremovexattr
fset_nt_acl
fsetxattr
fstat
fsync
ftruncate
get_compression
get_nt_acl
get_quota
get_shadow_copy_data
getlock
getwd
getxattr
kernel_flock

sys_acl_delete_def_file
sys_acl_get_fd
sys_acl_get_file
sys_acl_set_fd
sys_acl_set_file
telldir
unlink
utime
write

In addition to these operations, vfs_full_audit recognizes the special operation names "all" and "none ", which refer to all the VFS operations and none of the VFS operations respectively.

vfs_full_audit records operations in fixed format consisting of fields separated by '|' characters. The format is:

smbd_audit: PREFIX|OPERATION|RESULT|FILE

The record fields are:

• PREFIX − the result of the full_audit:prefix string after variable substitutions

• OPERATION − the name of the VFS operation

• RESULT − whether the operation succeeded or failed

• FILE − the name of the file or directory the operation was performed on

This module is stackable.

OPTIONS

vfs_full_audit:prefix = STRING

Prepend audit messages with STRING. STRING is processed for standard substitution variables listed in smb.conf(5). The default prefix is "%u|%I".

full_audit:success = LIST

LIST is a list of VFS operations that should be recorded if they succeed. Operations are specified using the names listed above. Operations can be unset by prefixing the names with "!". The default is all operations.

full_audit:failure = LIST

LIST is a list of VFS operations that should be recorded if they failed. Operations are specified using the names listed above. Operations can be unset by prefixing the names with "!". The default is all operations.

full_audit:facility = FACILITY

Log messages to the named syslog(3) facility.

full_audit:priority = PRIORITY

Log messages with the named syslog(3) priority.

EXAMPLES

Log file and directory open operations on the [records] share using the LOCAL7 facility and ALERT priority, including the username and IP address. Logging excludes the open VFS function on failures:

[records]

path = /data/records

vfs objects = full_audit

full_audit:prefix = %u|%I

full_audit:success = open opendir

full_audit:failure = all !open

full_audit:facility = LOCAL7

full_audit:priority = ALERT

VERSION

This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
