patch against /etc/audit/audit.conf
Diff to standard /etc/audit/audit.conf to provide a diagnostic if the audit
daemon encounters an error.
applied to CVS for testing, Thanks This bug is now fixed in laus-0.1-67RHEL3, which should be in RHEL-3-U5, and which meanwhile can be downloaded from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/laus/ An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2005-219.html I'm getting "silent system hangs" - reproduceable after about a week of uptime. /sbin/auditd is the cause (killing this - providing a root shell session is available to do so from - corrects the hang. Re-running re- introduces the hang immediately.) Nothing is getting logged anywhere, no matter how I set up the configuration files. There should probably never be any situation allowed where something is permitted to lock up a system without any message of any kind getting logged anyplace - not even if the admin doesn't want the message logged. I've got 40gigs free disc etc. |
