Description of problem: The initscript /etc/init.d/audit script displays the following error messages on startup: [root@link-13 init.d]# ./audit start Starting audit subsystem./audit: line 66: /proc/sys/dev/audit/attach-all: No such file or directory ./audit: line 67: /proc/sys/dev/audit/paranoia: No such file or directory Removed stale lock /var/run/auditd.pid [ OK ] The audit directory does not exist under /proc/sys/dev: [root@link-13 raid]# ls /proc/sys/dev raid [root@link-13 raid]# The erroring lines from the script: echo $AUDIT_ATTACH_ALL > /proc/sys/dev/audit/attach-all 2>/dev/null echo $AUDIT_PARANOIA > /proc/sys/dev/audit/paranoia 2>/dev/null Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL3-U2 re0330.0 ia64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot and watch console or run '/etc/init.d/audit restart' 2. 3. Actual results: [root@link-13 init.d]# ./audit start Starting audit subsystem./audit: line 66: /proc/sys/dev/audit/attach-all: No such file or directory ./audit: line 67: /proc/sys/dev/audit/paranoia: No such file or directory Removed stale lock /var/run/auditd.pid [ OK ] Expected results: Start without error. Additional info:
LAuS does not have proper kernel support on ia64. I'm planning to modify the pre- and post- install scripts so that we don't chkconfig --add audit at install time and modify the initscript to exit gracefully if the kernel module cannot be loaded.
I was told in a separate correspondence that this WOULD be fixed for the final cut of RHEL3u2 -- please make sure this error goes away in the final spin for both i386 AND ia64.
