-1 means that the command was run by something that was not initiated by a 
login. IOW, probably initscripts.

There is nothing that fixes that.  This is just a statement of fact. The error 
originated from a non-login path. What you might be remembering is that you 
should put a audit=1 in the boot params of the kernel. This is so that you 
don't have any unauditable processes.
