From 935c9e7ff06abf12c45155f75ec2f712d3768095 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Guy Briggs Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:04:15 -0500 Subject: audit: log failed attempts to change audit_pid configuration Failed attempts to change the audit_pid configuration are not presently logged. One case is an attempt to starve an old auditd by starting up a new auditd when the old one is still alive and active. The other case is an attempt to orphan a new auditd when an old auditd shuts down. Log both as AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE messages with failure result.
