+auditd and log files
+
+The audit daemon, auditd, is now enabled by default. When auditd is
+running, the kernel directs audit messages to
+/var/log/audit/audit.log. The location of this file is specified in
+/etc/auditd.conf.
+
+AVC messages for SELinux are sent using the audit infrastructure.
+These messages are now in /var/log/audit/audit.log.
+
+When auditd is not running, the kernel passes audit messages to
+syslog. These logs are typically kept in /var/log/messages and are
+viewable using dmesg.
+
+Audit extensions are now compiled into PAM. All programs that do
+grant entry to the system or change user account attributes will
+generate an audit message.
+
+To enable auditing within the kernel, you must pass the parameter
+audit=1 to the kernel during boot. Otherwise, you can use this
+command to enable auditing during run time:
+
+ 'auditctl -e 1'
