I tested like this: auditctl -m `perl -e '{print "A"x"2048"}'` and found its getting cutoff just under 1K. So, I checked the kernel code and found this: 761 if (msg_type != AUDIT_USER_TTY) 762 audit_log_format(ab, " msg='%.1024s'", 763 (char *)data); 764 else { Offhand, I don't remember why the kernel sets the limit so low. It could be bumped some. How much, I don't know. 4K or 8K would seem fine. -Steve -- Linux-audit mailing list Linux-audit@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
