Need -audit option on X


Need to have the -audit opetion show up when the following command is entered: ps -ef | grep X

Right now I get the following result:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7

The instructions I got was to add the -audit option in my /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file. I added the option as follows:

# $Xorg: Xserv.ws.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $
#
# Xservers file, workstation prototype
#
# This file should contain an entry to start the server on the
# local display; if you have more than one display (not screen),
# you can add entries to the list (one per line). If you also
# have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP,
# you can add them here as well. Each X terminal line should
# look like:
# XTerminalName:0 foreign
#
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth -audit /LogFiles/Xservers/A:0 -s 15

Am I putting it in the wrong place? Or am I missing another step?

Aren't you supposed to put a number for this option?
X -audit 4
X -audit 2
..

Or did I miss something?
