# auditd_conf
|
|
|
|
Use the `auditd_conf` InSpec audit resource to test the configuration settings for the audit daemon. This file is typically located under `/etc/audit/auditd.conf'` on Unix and Linux platforms.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `auditd_conf` resource block declares configuration settings that should be tested:
|
|
|
|
describe auditd_conf('path') do
|
|
its('keyword') { should cmp 'value' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `'keyword'` is a configuration setting defined in the `auditd.conf` configuration file
|
|
* `('path')` is the non-default path to the `auditd.conf` configuration file
|
|
* `{ should cmp 'value' }` is the value that is expected
|
|
