Any ideas how I can track down what might be blocking the logging of audit messages to /var/log/audit/audit.log? The last entry there is at 12:56:16 today, which is just as the system was coming up after a reboot (matches the timestamps for the never-used LOGIN entries in /var/run/utmp). I do see these lines in /var/log/messages right afterward: Apr 21 12:56:26 omega-3a kernel: type=1305 audit(1271872586.681:17143): auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:readahead_t:s0 op="remove rule" key=(null) list=4 res=0 Apr 21 12:56:26 omega-3a kernel: type=1305 audit(1271872586.681:17144): audit_enabled=0 old=1 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:readahead_t:s0 res=1 Thereafter, there are "dbus: Can't send to audit system" messages. The auditd service shows as running. If I restart auditd, audit.log shows "auditd normal halt" and "auditd start" messages, and after that messages do get logged to audit.log. I have no clue what might be setting audit_enabled=0 in the kernel, but that "remove rule" message just before makes me suspicious that it's SElinux related. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
