vfs_full_audit 8 Samba System Administration tools 4.0 vfs_full_audit record Samba VFS operations in the system log vfs objects = full_audit 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_nt_acl get_quota get_shadow_copy_data getlock getwd getxattr kernel_flock link linux_setlease listxattr lock lseek lstat mkdir mknod open opendir pread pwrite read readdir readlink realpath removexattr rename rewinddir rmdir seekdir sendfile set_nt_acl set_quota setxattr stat statvfs symlink 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. 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. 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: /data/records full_audit %u|%I open opendir all !open LOCAL7 ALERT This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite. The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
