Would this happen to be a system with a recent GDM and systemd? If so, they
are known to be messing up the audit trail. I am trying to write a system
validation test suite to spot issues like this. If you look at gdm, its
sending duplicate events. Systemd events don't make it to audit all the time.
Its a mess on the desktop right now.
