Hi Linda
Thanks for the response,

$ strace mount
shows a few lines plus the following:
open("/etc/mtab", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
Then the root window that has tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log
does capture unsuccessful mount with exit=-13
I need /var/log/audit/audit.log to be able to capture the mount event
automatically without strace intervention.
On my system, I see no difference WRT audit.log between 'mount' &
'strace mount'; neither ends up calling the mount system call so
neither generates an audit log.
Cheers,

Subject: capture mount event in /var/log/audit/audit.log
To: linux-audit(a)redhat.com
Hi Everyone,
in RHEL 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.el5 audit-1.7.17-3.el5
Have the following in the /etc/audit/audit.rules
## non-privilege users using mount command.
-a exit,always -F arch=b32 -S mount -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k export
-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S mount -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k export
from a general user account
$ mount /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
mount: only root can do that
but /var/log/audit/audit.log does not capture this event
Any input is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Betty
