DESCRIPTION

17       This function will log a message to the audit system using a predefined
18       message format. It should be used for all account  manipulation  opera‐
19       tions. The function parameters are as follows:

23
24              type  -  type  of message: AUDIT_USER_CHAUTHTOK for changing any
25              account attributes.

29              op  -   operation.  Ex:  "adding-user",  "changing-finger-info",
30              "deleting-group".  This  value  should have a dash or underscore
31              between the words so that report parsers group them together.

36              the  user  is unknown, pass a -1 and fill in the name parameter.
37              This is used only when user is NULL.

41              addr - The network address of the user. If not available pass  a

43
44              tty  - The tty of the user, if NULL will attempt to figure out
