Re: New field to auditd.conf file
As we've already mentioned several times, we can make no guarantees
regarding functionality or compatibility without seeing your code.
While it may be frustrating, this is how Open Source development
works.
If you are interested in our help you will need to describe, in
detail, what you are trying to do and ideally post your existing code
so it can be reviewed.
