Auditing of Samba activity and SOX

Subject: Auditing of Samba activity and SOX
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2005 13:49:03 +0930
Hi
I am having some discussions with a client about a solution to access 
reports on a Unix server and our proposal is and has been in the past for 
our customers  to use Samba to do this. Some of the trouble comes from the 
big 4 consulting house which is there SOX auditor
This customer is balking  due to their organisation having to be SOX 
compliant. 
The complaint is that a user could view or edit a sensitive file /report 
and as Samba has no capability to audit all the users activity and on the 
face of it this is a somewhat valid argument.

Obviously other organisations are SOX compliant and using Samba so there 
has to be a solution. My initial thought is to use Unix auditing  by 
enabling the HP-UX trusted computing.

How have other organisations been able to meet SOX with Samba servers


Cheers

Peter
