Creating audit rules

Okay, let's start with something simple and work our way up to something awesome. First, let's check to see whether any audit rules are in effect:

[donnie@localhost ~]$ sudo auditctl -l[sudo] password for donnie:No rules[donnie@localhost ~]$

As you can see, the auditctl command is what we use to manage audit rules. The -l option lists the rules.
