RE: explanation/translation of auditd exit codes

Isn't that just the return code of the syscall in question? Meaning, you'd need to look up the syscall in the relevant include file to see what -17 meant. Maybe auparse already does this, I'm not sure.

For example, we are getting some exit=-17 entries in our logs, and we have narrowed it down to an init script that tries to create a directory that already exists. So, we are pretty sure exit=-17 means that a directory already exits. It would be nice if we knew all codes and their translation, whether it be exit=-2, exit=-22, exit=-6, or exit=-17 and so on. I have yet to find that explained anywhere. Any info would be greatly appreciated and would help us fine tune our audit.rules file.
