At the command-line as root, "chkconfig auditd off" will disable it for the next boot and "service auditd stop" will stop it for the running system. Note that there used to be an issue with stopping autitd where auditing wasn't actually turned off (just the daemon catching the logging). You had to manually turn off auditing with IIRC "auditctl -e 0". I don't know if this has been addressed in newer versions. For benchmarking, you'd probably be better off with disabling it with chkconfig and doing a clean boot anyway. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
