Description
The audit_user file may be used to selectively audit more, or fewer, auditing features for specific individuals. If used this way it could subject the activity to a lawsuit and could cause the loss of valuable auditing data in the case of a system compromise. If an item is audited for one individual (other than for root and administrative users - who have more auditing features) it must be audited for all.
