I have a requirement to trace the activity of the physical users on  Redhat 5/6 systems.

I spent the last week sifting through  the archive to find that the question was asked time and again.

The basic rule is easy but the hitch is when an administrator restarts a service.

Unfortunately, it seems there is no solution until systemd is used to start daemon instead of service.

The only useful thing I found was in this old post from 2007 http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-February/msg00071.html to reset the auid.

I would like to know if it can be used with the current version of auditd.

If yes, I will probably give it a try with a fixed dedicated auid to clearly state that the auid was changed.

Do I need to install something besides audit and audit-libs ?

Is there any special need, for compiling this program ?

 

Thanks

Philippe
