Are you sure you have pam_loginuid.so configured in the appropriate
/etc/pam.d/* files, such as login and sshd?
I checked the login file and it matches yours, I am not using ssh on
this machine.
I'm running the .41 kernel and the audit-1.2.4 tools and
the auid is correct in the audit records on my system.
Most of the time, mine is correct as well. It seems to occur
sporadically. Usually, a reboot will fix the problem.
