Hi,

I am trying to setup our BSM auditing where a member of the security team is able to do auditing. I currently have a security group/role setup with auditing enabled. The issue I am having is everything that goes intot he /var/audit has root root 600 permissions. I do not want to give the audit team root access and everytime they run a praudit they get a praudit Can't assign (log name) to stdin. If I manually change the group permissons it works fine, but I would like to know if there is a way they can run their audit commands without changing any file permissions.

I am sure I am overcomplicating my solution and there has to be an easy way to do this. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 
You can do this with by either setting up sudo for that one case, or whenever you do a audit stop/start, runa script to change the permission/owner of the file.
