audit startup issue RHEL 5.3
 

Hi - I have an error on audit startup:
system# service auditd start
starting auditd: [FAILED]Error deleting rule (Operation not permitted)
There was an error in line 2 of /etc/audit/audit.rules

system# head -2 /etc/audit/audit.rules
##
-D

Does 'grep -v ^# /etc/audit/audit.rules|grep .|wc -l' nearly equal 'auditctl -l|wc -l'?
Does 'grep -- ^-e /etc/audit/audit.rules' show rule editing is deactivated?
Does 'auditctl -i -R /etc/audit/audit.rules' show rule loading works OK for the rest of the rule set?
And please post 'grep -v ^# /etc/audit/audit.rules|grep .;', preferably in BB code, instead.

Hi unSpawn, thanks for responding -

Here you go:


Does 'grep -v ^# /etc/audit/audit.rules|grep .|wc -l' nearly equal 'auditctl -l|wc -l'?

64 vs 32

Does 'grep -- ^-e /etc/audit/audit.rules' show rule editing is deactivated?

-e 2

Does 'auditctl -i -R /etc/audit/audit.rules' show rule loading works OK for the rest of the rule set?

Error: nested rule files not supported

And please post 'grep -v ^# /etc/audit/audit.rules|grep .;', preferably in BB code, instead.
