Re: Suppress messages from /var/log/audit.log via audit.rules

From the little knowledge that I have -

Does anyone have an idea on how to suppress (exclude) these entries from showing up in the audit.log on a RHEL platform? I have tried the following to no success: type=CWD msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982948):  cwd="/" type=PATH msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982948): item=0 name="/usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib64/libdnet.so.1/tls/x86_64/libc.so.6" type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982949): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-2 a0=7fffacb237a0 a1=0 a2=2abb06288000 a3=6462696c2f343662 items=1 ppid=3921 pid=3923 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sed" exe="/bin/sed" subj=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 key=(null) type=CWD msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982949):  cwd="/" type=PATH msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982949): item=0 name="/usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib64/libdnet.so.1/tls/libc.so.6" type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982950): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-2 a0=7fffacb237a0 a1=0 a2=2abb06288000 a3=6462696c2f343662 items=1 ppid=3921 pid=3923 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sed" exe="/bin/sed" subj=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 key=(null) type=CWD msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982950):  cwd="/" type=PATH msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982950): item=0 name="/usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib64/libdnet.so.1/x86_64/libc.so.6" type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1316431049.130:131982951): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-2 a0=7fffacb237a0 a1=0 a2=2abb06288000 a3=6462696c2f343662 items=1 ppid=3921 pid=3923 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sed" exe="/bin/sed" subj=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 key=(null) Packages installed: redhat-release-5Server-5.7.0.3 audit-1.7.18-2.el5 selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-316.el5 Current rules: ## Suppress all VMware Tools system calls -a exit,never -F arch=b32 -S fork -F success=0 -F path=/usr/lib/vmware-tools -F subj_type=initrc_t -F exit=-ENOENT -a exit,never -F arch=b64 -S fork -F success=0 -F path=/usr/lib/vmware-tools -F subj_type=initrc_t -F exit=-ENOENT -a exit,never -F arch=b32 -S fork -F success=0 -F path=/usr/lib/vmware-tools -F subj_type=initrc_t -F exit=-2 -a exit,never -F arch=b64 -S fork -F success=0 -F path=/usr/lib/vmware-tools -F subj_type=initrc_t -F exit=-2 ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the named recipient(s).
