Subject: audit-viewer "comm" question
Date: Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:49:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1217890182.30693.417.camel@homeserver> (raw)
After reading Steve's info about the "comm" field being clipped at 16
chars, I was surprised to see a longer string inside the audit-viewer
"comm" field.
I have taken a screen shot, but won't post it unless asked (it's 41K).
The "comm" field there is: "/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon", which
of course is longer than 16 chars.
The same event in ausearch shows a NULL "comm" field, but the rest of
the info lines up with the GUI:
[root@hugo ~]# ausearch -ts today -i -a 126492
