I'm getting indeed quite a lot of skipped event:
Malformed event skipped, rc=7. type=LOGIN
msg=audit(1402934401.462:1626): pid=1719 uid=0 old-auid=4294967295
new-auid=0 old-ses=4294967295 new-ses=121 res=1
This feel like 2 clear bugs.
1) The kernel records for LOGIN are 'malformed' in 3.14.
2) Userspace silently throws records which are 'malformed' away, instead
of just printing them...
ausearch -m LOGIN should be able to display these things...
