Package: systemd
Version: 218-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I wondered about the huge lot of audit messages in dmesg and syslog.

The following is just after a fresh boot:

merkaba:~> dmesg | grep audit | wc -l
38
merkaba:~> dmesg | grep audit | grep suppr
[   11.835476] audit_printk_skb: 282 callbacks suppressed


I am not interested in these whatsoever. They spam my logs and make it
more difficult for me to find important things in my log.

Do I really have to set the kernel parameter audit=0 to disable those?


Or can I override

merkaba:~> dpkg -L systemd | grep audit
/lib/systemd/system/systemd-journald-audit.socket
/lib/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/systemd-journald-audit.socket

in order to get rid of it.

It might be nice to place something about this in Jessie releasenotes.

Users will find this unexpected log messages in their logs and wonder what
they are about.

I´d really prefer if more additional features that systemd enables would
be opt-in rather then opt-out. I still want to feel in control about what
is happening on my machines.

Ciao,
Martin
