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

link

linux_setlease

listxattr

lock

lseek

lstat

mkdir

mknod

open

rmdir

seekdir

sendfile

set_compression

set_nt_acl

set_quota

setxattr

snap_check_path

snap_create

snap_delete

stat

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.  

OPTIONS

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.

full_audit:syslog = true/false

Log messages to syslog (default) or as a debug level 1 message.

full_audit:log_secdesc = true/false

Log an sddl form of the security descriptor coming in when a client sets an acl. Defaults to false.

 

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]
        m[blue]path = /data/recordsm[]
        m[blue]vfs objects = full_auditm[]
        m[blue]full_audit:prefix = %u|%Im[]
        m[blue]full_audit:success = open opendirm[]
        m[blue]full_audit:failure = all !openm[]
        m[blue]full_audit:facility = LOCAL7m[]
        m[blue]full_audit:priority = ALERTm[]
