Description of problem: "service auditd status" only works for root, even though the function that auditd uses to provide status works, so there isn't any permissions issue: . /etc/init.d/functions ; status auditd Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.non-root user 2.service auditd status 3. Actual results: no output Expected results: auditd (pid xxxx) is running... Additional info: OK, I know that there are services that don't provide status to a normal user, but there are lots that do. Anyway, I was looking at this one.
Created attachment 149051 [details] patch (diff -up) to implement auditd status command for normal user
This was fixed in audit-1.5 in rawhide. I had not planned to make audit 1.5 available to fc6. I might hand pick some fixes from it and make a new audit-1.4.2 release.
OK, thanks. Leaving it unchanged in FC6 is fine with me!
audit-1.4.2-3 has been built to address this problem. Its currently in testing and will be pushed out wednesday if no bugs are discovered. Thanks for reporting this issue.
Fixed on Fedora 7.
