Did you enable name_format = fqdin auditd.conf? You could temporarily change that setting to none orhostname. but maybe you should file a bz for this, too. Hi steve, Thank you for the reply. Current version is audit-1.5.5-7.el5. Man pages for auditd.conf do not show name_format option. Anyway I tried both options name_format = none and name_format = hostname and still auditd fails to startup.
