there is no audit daemon in linux (or in unix systems in general) in the
full sense of the word - however, there is 'syslogd' - the system logger
daemon. this daemon accepts messages from other processes, using the
syslog() C library function (man syslogd, man syslog...), and writes them
into log files, or prints them on the system's console, or dumps them -
all this, based on the syslog.conf file, found in the /etc directory (man
syslog.conf). the log files are traditionally kept in the /var/log
directory (or /var/adm on some unix systems), but this may be changed by
modifying the syslog.conf file.
read the mentioned manual, and you'll get the full info (including the
structure of the log files' records).
