+=============================
+
+By default, the McAfee AUDIT plugin for MySQL* is named "AUDIT" and
+that is the name you should use when installing the plugin with the SQL
+"INSTALL PLUGIN" command.
+
+It is the "AUDIT" name that provides the "audit_" prefix to the plugin's
+various configuration variables.
+
+In order to avoid conflict with other vendors' auditing plugins whose
+names may start with "audit" (such as MySQL's "audit_log" plugin) it
+is possible to change the name of the McAfee plugin.  The steps are
+as follows:
+
+1. If you're currently using the McAfee plugin, unload it.
+
+2. Edit the /usr/bin/mysqld_safe shell script (using the correct location
+for your system). For MySQL 5.7.9, look for the eval_log_error() function.
+Before the line that says:
+
+	eval "$cmd"
+
+add a line like this:
+
+	export MCAFEE_AUDIT_PLUGIN_NAME=MCAFEE # use any name you want
+
+You can use any name you like, "MCAFEE" is just an example.
+
+For other MySQL versions, determine where the mysqld daemon is actually
+started, and set the environment variable right before that.
+
+3. After restarting MySQL, you will need to load the plugin using the
+new name. From the MySQL client:
+
+	install plugin MCAFEE soname 'libaudit_plugin.so';
+
+and/or from /etc/my.cnf:
+
+	[mysqld]
+	plugin-load=MCAFEE=libaudit_plugin.so
+
+Once you've done that, you must remember that the names of ALL the
+configuration variables will start with the lowercase version of the
+name you've chosen. For example, "mcafee_json_log_file" instead of
+"audit_json_log_file".
+
+If you previously had various "audit_XXX" variables set in your
+/etc/my.cnf file, you will need to rename them! Otherwise MySQL will
+fail to start, with an error about unknown variables.
+
+That's it!  Good luck.
