David, I should have been more diligent. The input switch was supposed to be "-if" IIUC. The "-f" switch is looking for a filename inside the record. [r...@slim logs-test]# ausearch -i -if `pwd` -m USER <no matches> [r...@slim logs-test]# ausearch -i -if `pwd`/audit.log.1 -m USER ... ---- node=slim type=USER msg=audit(08/17/2009 12:10:52.265:305135) : user pid=8191 uid=root auid=lcb ses=4172 subj=user_u:user_r:user_t:s0 msg='TEST message: exe=/sbin/auditctl (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=pts/18 res=success)' ... This is what you want to do right - search inside a directory other than /var/log/audit with multiple audit logs inside the directory?
