Steve,

Thanks again, I am really trying to get my linux skills sharpened as I have been unfortunately raised in the windows world. It does pay the bills though.

I copied the text and ran it through ausearch with the '-i' commandline
option.

It changes the priority of the process. Which is not exactly security
critical. For concerns in this area, one would generally set rlimits to
prevent a resource hog. Additionally, if you really, really wanted to see
this, you'd only want the ones that succeed or fail due to EPERM.

No, I used the audit tools to check it.
