Applogies, I sent that note a tad prematurely.
As I was saying, I was looking through the auditctl v1.0.3 man pages,
and I had some questions on some fields auditctl accepts.
What the devmajor and devminor fields actually entail. My guess is
hda/hda1 but I am not sure.
Major number is used to select the device driver to call when access a
device file, minor number is a parameter passed to the device driver. I
believe it's up to the device driver to interpret how the minor number
is used. Yah?
Also does the OS personality number (pers) entails?
Thanks,
Mike
Hm. I'm going to assume you're missing a "What" :) Personalities or
execution domains give Linux the ability to provide limited support for
binaries compiled on different UNIX-like operating systems.
