Description Tom London 2007-12-30 19:31:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
Booting today with audit-1.6.4-1.fc9, auditd failed to start up:

Dec 30 11:05:34 localhost auditd: /var/log/audit/audit.log permissions should be
0640
Dec 30 11:05:34 localhost auditd: The audit daemon is exiting.
Dec 30 11:05:34 localhost kernel: audit(1199041534.187:4):
audit_backlog_limit=320 old=64 by auid=4294967295
subj=system_u:system_r:auditctl_t:s0 res=1
Dec 30 11:05:34 localhost kernel: audit(1199041534.187:5):
audit_backlog_limit=320 old=64 by auid=4294967295 res=1

/var/log/audit/audit.log's mode was 600.

Changing the mode to 640 makes it work, but is this test right?  Should the mode
be changed in the post install script?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
audit-1.6.4-1.fc9

Should be fixed in audit-1.6.4-3. I forgot to change the config parser to allow
both 0600 and 0640 for the logs. Thanks for reporting the bug.
