Error starting auditd

Hello,

I am currently porting auditd to a new platform. When starting it using `auditd -f`, I get the following error:

"Error setting audit daemon pid (File exists)"

It occurs during the call to `audit_set_pid(fd, getpid(), WAIT_YES);` in auditd.c. If I understand correctly, this call registers auditd with the kernel, is that correct? fd looks like a valid file descriptor, at least its >0. Especially the "file exists" part confuses me. In which direction can I investigate that error?

Thank you and greets,
Felix
