How do *I* can get the complete code change of the following patch
set
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-October/msg00048.html ?
Go to the link under "references". They are all listed there.
That patch set is no longer relevant since auditd can now communicate
from any network namespace.
(Please fix the subject line back to the relevant subject when you reply
to a digest email.)
