 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      event class file - The file that contains the declaration of an event
      class.

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      Audit events can be logically grouped into event classes.  Event
      classes are defined in event class files.  An event class file
      contains an event class number and a list of event numbers
      corresponding to audit events.

      All event class files must be created in the dcelocal/etc/audit/ec
      directory.

      The name of the event class file becomes the name of the event class.
      The recommended naming convention for event class files is:

      dce_server-name_class

      where class is a descriptive text that characterizes the event class.

      Event class files must be write-protected by the local operating
      system (that is, only administrators should have write access to these
      files). Audit clients read these files to maintain an event table in
      their address space.

      Optionally, an event class file can contain a SEP line.  This line
      contains a list of prefixes of the event numbers in the file. The SEP
      line speeds up the scanning performed by the Audit clients. Audit
      clients which do not have events with one of the prefixes listed will
      not scan the event list.  If the SEP line is not provided in the file,
      Audit clients will have to read the entire file to find out if the
      event class file contains any of their events.

      Empty lines are ignored in the event class file.

      Comments are designated by the number sign (#) placed before the
      comment text.

    The Event Class File Format    [Toc]    [Back]
      The format of an event class file is:

      ECN=event_class_number

      SEP=prefix_1 prefix_2 ...

      # comments start with the number sign

      event_number_1

      event_number_2
