Hi,
I enter the command "sudo cp qwerty /etc/xxx"
and get the reply: "cp: cannot stat `qwerty': No such file or directory."
A number of log entries are written. The last two are, in part:
type=SYSCALL success=yes
type=EXECVE argc=3 a0="cp" a1="qwerty" a2="/etc/xxx"
My problem is with "success=yes".
What is happening?
Thanks - Michael Mather

What's the actual syscall and what's the actual rule that triggering the entry?
What is happening?

Assuming the syscall is execve, then it succeeds because your shell
successfully execve() to run cp.
Then cp the program fails.

From the point of view of the linux kernel, and of the audit, you have
the right to execute the cp, you don't have permission denied. So the
result is success.

Thanks for the replies.
The problem is that the PCI requirements say:
10.3 Record at least the following audit trail entries for all system
components for each event:
...
10.3.4 Success or failure indication.
I don't know if PCI would accept the notion that this was success.
