audit-viewer "comm" question

After reading Steve's info about the "comm" field being clipped at 16 chars, I was surprised to see a longer string inside the audit-viewer "comm" field. I have taken a screen shot, but won't post it unless asked (it's 41K). The "comm" field there is: "/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon", which of course is longer than 16 chars. The same event in ausearch shows a NULL "comm" field, but the rest of the info lines up with the GUI: [root@hugo ~]# ausearch -ts today -i -a 126492 ---- type=USER_AVC msg=audit(08/04/2008 16:04:24.152:126492) : user pid=23501 uid=root auid=unset subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_xserver_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 msg='avc: denied { receive } for comm=(null) event=X11:PropertyNotify scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=user_u:object_r:property_xevent_t:s4:c0,c2,c11,c200.c511 tclass=x_event : exe=/usr/bin/Xorg (sauid=root hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=?)' -- LC (Lenny) Bruzenak lenny(a)magitekltd.com
