Hello all,
I am trying to set up file watches for files such as /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow. I am using Suse 10.1. I have updated the kernel to a
kernel.org 2.6.18-rc4 kernel, and have updated the audit userspace tools to
version 1.2.3. I can add filesystem watches with "auditctl -w /etc/passwd"
successfully now. Entries in the audit.log are created.
The first problem is that when I use "aureport -w", it tells me "<no
events of
interest were found>". Using "aureport -f" instead, it shows entries
for /etc/passwd, but the auid column for all results is -1 (or "unset" if
using the -i option to aureport). Looking at the audit logfile,
auid=4294967295 which then correlates to -1 when used as a signed vs unsigned
int.
How can I fix this?
Rick,
I believe a special PAM package is used to capture the login uid (auid).
I'm guessing that's where your problem lies.
