6 <para>When enabled, this option causes Samba (acting as an
7 Active Directory Domain Controller) to stream authentication
8 events across the internal message bus. Scripts built using
9 Samba's python bindings can listen to these events by
10 registering as the service

13 <para>This is <emphasis>not</emphasis> needed for the audit
14 logging described in <smbconfoption name="log level"/>.</para>
16 <para>Instead, this should instead be considered a developer
17 option (it assists in the Samba testsuite) rather than a
18 facility for external auditing, as message delivery is not
19 guaranteed (a feature that the testsuite works around).</para>
21 <para>The authentication events are also logged via the normal
22 logging methods when the <smbconfoption name="log level"/> is
23 set appropriately, say to
