The "-i" flag on ausearch appears to remove the "node=" info when the 
type!=UNKNOWN:

Thanks for reporting this. It appears to be a long standing bug in that I 
don't think the code was ever put into place to do the right thing. I can see 
this in 1.6.5 and that's as far back as I checked. This will be fixed in the 
next release.
