The AUDIT privilege allows software to append audit records
to the system security audit log file using one of four system services:
$AUDIT_EVENT, $CHECK_PRIVILEGE, $CHKPRO, or $CHECK_ACCESS. In addition,
the $AUDIT_EVENT system service allows all components of an audit
message to be specified. As a result, this privilege permits the
logging of events that appear to have come from the operating system
or a user process.
Grant this privilege only to trusted images that need to append
audit messages to the system audit log file. Users possessing this
privilege can provoke a system failure by attempting to log invalid
events with the NSA$M_INTERNAL flag set.
