Hey Steve, a follow up. Is the man page for auditd.conf wrong? My auditd 
failed to start when giving space_left with a '%' sign.

  space_left
     This is a numeric value in megabytes that tells the audit daemon
     when  to  perform  a  configurable  action because the system is
     starting to run low on disk space. You may also append a percent
     sign  (e.g. 5%) to the number to have the audit daemon calculate
     the number based on the disk partition size.


Thanks!

Leam
