+Auditd Daemon
+
+The audit daemon is a simplified version of its desktop
+counterpart designed to gather the audit logs from the
+audit kernel subsystem. The audit subsystem of the kernel
+includes Linux Security Modules (LSM) messages as well.
+
+To enable the audit subsystem, you must add this to your
+kernel config:
+CONFIG_AUDIT=y
+
+To enable a LSM, you must consult that LSM's documentation, the
+example below is for SELinux:
+CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
+
+This does not include possible dependencies that may need to be
+satisfied for that particular LSM.
