Dear all:

I've now committed the build glue required to install the recently merged Audit Distribution Daemon (auditdistd) contributed by the Pawel Dawidek, and sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation. This allows individual hosts generating audit trails to submit trails to a central audit server for review and safe keeping. Part of the goal is to ensure that a host submitting trail data can't later modify the trails. Pawel uses a variety of useful security- and resilience-related features such as TLS, Capsicum, etc, in auditdistd. As the recent security incident in the FreeBSD.org cluster illustrated, having reliable and detailed audit trails makes a big difference in forensic work, and hopefully this will allow the FreeBSD Project (and our users) to do that better in the future.

Is auditdistd going to be included in the base system as of 10.0-RELEASE
or be a port that runs on 10.0-RELEASE and newer?
