Subject: [PATCH] audit code
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 23:12:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040810211245.GA7646@k3.hellgate.ch> (raw)

Two things that struck me as odd when reading parts of audit.c:

- audit_receive_skb calls netlink_ack with positive errnos; AFAICT
  they should be negative, though (netlink(7)).

- audit_receive_skb always returns 0; therefore, the condition
  in audit_receive is always false.
