auditcnv(1M)                                            auditcnv(1M)


       NAME
             auditcnv - create default audit mask file

       SYNOPSIS
             auditcnv

       DESCRIPTION
             The auditcnv shell level command creates an audit mask file
             for the user login interface.  auditcnv is invoked when the
             audit package is installed.

             Information from the /etc/passwd and /etc/default/useradd
             files is used to assign an initial default audit mask for
             every user on the system.  If either the /etc/passwd or
             /etc/default/useradd file does not exist or cannot be
             accessed, an error message is displayed (see DIAGNOSTICS).
             The defadm command modifies the value of the AUDIT_MASK
             parameter in the /etc/default/useradd file.  If the AUDIT_MASK
             parameter does not exist or has an invalid value, an event
             mask of none is set and a warning message is displayed (see
             DIAGNOSTICS).

             If the audit mask file, /etc/security/ia/audit cannot be
             created or already exists, an error message is displayed (see
             DIAGNOSTICS).

             When the auditcnv command is invoked and completes
             successfully, the following message is displayed:

                   /etc/security/ia/audit created

             If the /etc/security/ia/audit file is corrupted or
             accidentally removed, auditcnv should be invoked before any
             further users log in to the system.  The audit mask for users
             who log in while this file is corrupted or nonexistent may not
             include the desired audit events.

       DIAGNOSTICS
             Upon successful completion, the auditcnv command exits with a
             value of zero (0).  If there are errors, it exits with one of
             the following values and prints the corresponding error
             message:

             1   usage: auditcnv
