Re: One challenge for audit - seeking ideas

All, I am looking a ways to counter the situation where a user restarts a service and hence all that service's auditing events are attributed to the auid of the user who performed the restart. That is a. User logs into system (and pam sets auid) b. User su's or sudo's up to a service account (auid still the same). c. User restarts the service d. All audit events resulting from the service have the user's auid. At present I am looking at solution that front-end's the RHEL5/RHEL6 /sbin/service command which sets the auid via a audit_setloginuid() call and then execv's the service script and command arguments. I am interested in any other solutions that people may have implemented successfully. Especially for the systemd replacement, if it's been done. Regards Burn
