One of the important features of sudo is its ability to log elevated-access actions to syslog. Userhelper similarly logs actions, like so: "userhelper[26491]: running '/usr/share/system-config-users/system-config-users ' with root privileges on behalf of 'mattdm'". PolicyKit serves a similar function, but doesn't seem to log anything. In fact, the only use of syslog appears to be in polkit-agent-helper-1, which logs in two possible situations -- when called with the wrong number of arguments and when stdin is a tty. (Most other things it fprintfs to stderr.) I'm not bringing this up to complain -- I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something (which happens more often than it should; *sigh*). If I'm not missing something, is this something anyone is working on already or has existing plans for? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx> Senior Systems Architect Cyberinfrastructure Labs / Instructional & Research Computing Computing & Information Technology Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences -- Fedora-security-list mailing list Fedora-security-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-security-list
