Re: listening to /dev/audit in a pthread program

I have an test app that quite happily does an audit_set_pid and then sits there reading /dev/audit. It works fine if its in the lead thread. But when I run the same code in my real app it runs in a different thread. No matter what PID I pass to the audit subsystem it complains that nobody is listening I did audit_set_pid(....getpid...) - no (passes the pid of the manager thread) I did audit_set_pid(....gettid...) - no (passes the pid of the LWP) (I dont really mean I did gettid - I did syscall(_NR_gettid)) I can see in the complaint message that I have given it the pid I intended to. I can see in gdb that my LWP id is the same as the one I send to the audit subsystem - ie gettid worked. Is this a known issue?
