At first when I saw this, I wondered if it was even necessary, thinking
that information should either be irrelevant, or available elsewhere.
Given that it could be several nested pid namespaces, it may even be
incomplete.
Okay, thanks for the input. It doesn't look like this is something we want to
merge at this point.
The most obvious one is that of vanishing fields in audit log
messages
which concerns Steve Grubb. If we fixed the ordering issue, vanishing
fields should no longer be a concern.
Yes, this is just one more reason why we need to rework the audit record
format. I've got more ideas on this since we last talked on-list, but I've
had to shelve things a bit to deal with the audit bugs.
However, make no mistake, the audit record format will be changing, this fixed
string format is garbage.
