Description Dean Matzkov 2011-01-20 13:59:23 UTC

The auditd daemon errors-outs if the CONFIG_AUDIT kernel option isn't set, so there should be a check for it in its ebuild.

The CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL option might need to be set too, but I'm not sure.

Here's what auditd said to the system log without those kernel options enabled:

auditd: Error - audit support not in kernel
auditd: Cannot open netlink audit socket
auditd: The audit daemon is exiting.
auditd: Cannot daemonize (Success)
auditd: The audit daemon is exiting.
