FreeBSD Security Event Auditing

FreeBSD Security Event Auditing
Federico Biancuzzi, 2006-11-10

The upcoming release of FreeBSD 6.2 includes the new Security Event Auditing system, that "permits the selective and fine-grained logging of security-relevant system events for the purposes of post-mortem analysis, intrusion detection, and run-time monitoring analysis." Federico Biancuzzi interviewed Robert Watson, founder of the TrustedBSD project, and discussed the advantages and potentialities it brings.

Wow,
this looks very good. I stumbled upon this new feature as I was looking at the handbook and thank God I saw that osnews had a topic on this which led me to here....!!

Nice to see my beloved FreeBSD getting better at each release.

Who knows if windows server has this?...

Windows NT has had security event logging since 3.0 I think. As well as Access Control Lists, as opposed to 9 bit "access mask". It doesn't hurt to know "dark side" a bit, before praising "new great features"....
