NAME

       audisp-prelude.conf - the audisp-prelude configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       audisp-prelude.conf  is  the  file  that  controls  the  configuration  of the audit based
       intrusion detection system. There are 2  general  kinds  of  configuration  option  types,
       enablers and actions. The enablers simply have yes/no as the only valid choices.

       The  action  options  currently  allow ignore, and idmef as its choices. The ignore option
       means that the IDS still detects events, but only logs  the  detection  in  response.  The
       idmef  option  means  that  the  IDS  will send an IDMEF alert to the prelude manager upon
       detection.

       The configuration options that are available are as follows:

       profile
              This is a one word character string that is used to identify the  profile  name  in
              the prelude reporting tools. The default is auditd.

       detect_avc
              This an enabler that determines if the IDS should be examining SE Linux AVC events.
              The default is yes.

       avc_action
              This is an action that determines what response should be taken whenever a SE Linux
              AVC is detected. The default is idmef.

              default is yes.

       detect_login_time_alerts

              accounts, separate them with a dash but no spaces. For  example,  to  watch  logins
