[PATCH] Fix whitespace in CWD record (Steve Grubb) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:22:01 -0700 From: Chris Nandor <pudge(a)pobox.com&gt; To: Steve Grubb <sgrubb(a)redhat.com&gt; Cc: linux-audit(a)redhat.com Subject: Re: Weird issues in 2.6.5 Message-ID: <CAHcE2wrPftjsy2QMB4+qsa9o-S= xWqjiD+rtKX0wM24ksT0tkQ(a)mail.gmail.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I set heartbeat to 60 on the client and idle to 120 on the server. Reconnects seem fine now, although I never did nail down the exact conditions under which reconnects failed. But I still have the problem of weird buffering on the client side. If I run `sudo ls` on the client side, locally I get something like: node=grax.sea.marchex.com type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1468448156.161:3288765): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 a0=8f81e8 a1=8f7578 a2=8febf0 a3=7ffd3d956370 items=2 ppid=19387 pid=19388 auid=2288 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts4 ses=399 comm="ls" exe="/bin/ls" key="rootcmd" node=grax.sea.marchex.com type=EXECVE msg=audit(1468448156.161:3288765): argc=1 a0="ls" node=grax.sea.marchex.com type=CWD msg=audit(1468448156.161:3288765): cwd="/tmp" node=grax.sea.marchex.com type=PATH msg=audit(1468448156.161:3288765): item=0 name="/bin/ls" inode=132438 dev=09:01 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 node=grax.sea.marchex.com type=PATH msg=audit(1468448156.161:3288765): item=1 name=(null) inode=71179 dev=09:01 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 But remotely, I just get: node=grax.sea.marchex.com type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1468448156.161:3288765): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 a0=8f81e8 a1=8f7578 a2=8febf0 a3=7ffd3d956370 items=2 ppid=19387 pid=19388 auid=2288 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts4 ses=399 comm="ls" exe="/bin/ls" key="rootcmd" Just the first line of the audit record. No matter how long I wait. If I then run `sudo ls` again, *then* the rest of the lines show up in the server's log. The buffering appears to be on the client side, because if I restart the server's auditd, those lines are not lost: they still appear in the remote log ... but not until the next time I run `sudo ls` on the client side. This is on 1.7.x. This does not happen on 2.4.x or 2.6.x.
