Hi Steve,
I changed the rule from the /etc watch to individual files in the /
etc directory and that seems to have settled it down.
It seems to be a problem with watching directories only.

Hi Steve,
I've installed the latest audit package and it seems to be exactly
the same. Overnight:
size-32 208310 208369 32 119 1 : tunables 120
60 8 : slabdata 1751 1751 0
[sysadmin@blah ~]$ rpm -q audit
audit-1.0.15-1.fc4
I've cut down the rules to a single watch on the /etc directory (I
realise that this only watches the directory and not the files in it).
No rules
AUDIT_WATCH_LIST: dev=9:1, path=/etc, filterkey=ETC, perms=w, valid=0
Every access to /etc seems to add to the size-32 objects and never
releases them.
Any other suggestions?
Simon.
