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 soon. The ChangeLog is:
- Add user friendly keywords for signals to auditctl
- In ausearch, parse up URINGOP and DM_CTRL records
- Harden auparse to better handle corrupt logs
- Fix a CFLAGS propogation problem in the common directory
- Move the audispd af_unix plugin to a standalone program
The most relevant thing to packagers is to know about the last item above.
Due to a timing race in the af_unix plugin, it was possible to get auditd to
not accept any more af_unix connections. You have to be root to connect, so
this is nothing a normal user could trigger. The fix was to pull the af_unix
plugin out of auditd to be a standalone program.
auditctl --signal can now use: stop, reload, rotate, resume, and state. This
can be used where people want to stop using the service command.
One last thing to mention, ausearch/auparse have been hardened to better deal
with corrupted logs.

Please let me know if you run across any problems with this release.
