Some security requirements include auditing events by users and root.
So
the line might include something like:
-F auid=0 -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295
The fields will be "anded". You cannot simultaneously have auid of 0 and
>=500.
So, you won't get any events.
My question is, if you don't include that phrase will the audit
system
still get everything and not incur a serious performance hit. Effectively
it will audit everything for users 1-499, the usual system accounts.
Typically the requirements read as audit root user actions - which is covered
by TTY auditing. Everything else is covered by the other rules.
