> Subject: auditdistd - audit trail file retntion
> Hello,
> I am using auditdistd on FreeBSD 11.4 and 12.2 - I write about audit
> trail files retention.
> Is there an option to dispose of older logs in /var/audit/dist ?
>
> So far, it seems like a custom cronjob is in order. Something like:
>
> ??? /usr/bin/find /var/audit/dist -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;
>
> FYI: I have read up about auditd, /etc/security/audit_control, and the
> audit -e option. They do not apply to auditdistd.
>
> Thank you.
