Re: Auparse feature or bug
OK. So, in essence, the example I provided is a just poorly formatted
event from PAM. Or rather, one that can't be parsed by the auparse
library without loss of data.
TIA

Its a feature. The only thing guaranteed by the audit system is that
name=value pairs are supported. Additional text may be there to add context
for people reading the event. But for machine parsing only name=value is
returned. So, if the additional text is needed, then either '-' or '_'
can be
added between words (as many other events do).
