manpage - `audit.conf` man page is missing



I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 latest version, and when I do man audit.conf it returns No manual entry for audit.conf but I need it...



I assume you are looking for man auditd.conf, not man audit.conf?



In a comment, you say




man auditd.conf


also prints No manual entry for auditd.conf, right?
That means, the package that contains it is not installed;



It's easy to guess, but let's find which package we need systematically:



$ apt-file search auditd.conf
auditd: /etc/audit/auditd.conf

auditd: /usr/share/man/man5/auditd.conf.5.gz


So, the package auditd contains the file auditd.conf - and the man page for it.
Install it with



sudo apt-get install auditd


Now,




man auditd.conf


should work.
