Hello,
I've just released a new version of the audit daemon. It can be downloaded
from
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit It will also be in rawhide
tomorrow. The Changelog is:
- Make sure time calc is done using localtime
- Raise rlimits for file size & cpu usage
- Added new disk_error_action config item to auditd.conf
- Rework memory management of event buffer
- Improved error handling in event logging thread
There was also a small goof in the release yesterday where time calculation
was done using gmt - which messes up the date if you only provide a time for
-ts or -te. It now uses local time. Also, I'm now raising the rlimits for
file size to infinity in case an admin is restarting the audit daemon from a
shell that has rlimit restrictions.
One of the TODO items was to review all errors and make sure everything is
handled in the logging path. I reworked the memory management of the logging
thread so there's little chance of that being a problem during write. I also
got to thinking about disk failures. If the write fails because the hard
drive is toast, we now have a new action item to configure. It is the
disk_error_action . It only comes into play during a disk write error
condition that is not disk full.
Let me know if there are any problems...
