Change 69704 by rwatson at rwatson_tislabs on 2005/01/25 13:11:13

	Change behavior of the default audit_warn(5) script: submit messages
	via syslog rather than directly appending to
	/etc/security/audit_messages.

 Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehensive one would take
 different actions based on the type of warning.  For example, a low-space
 warning could result in an email message being sent to the administrator.
