UGH this is a wrench in the works...
I was hoping to grab all the rotated logs, process them while still
allowing audit
to run with no interruptions. Problem I run into is I run ausearch -i
> /tmp/file and then
do ausearch -i /nfs/file with auditd stopped, then compare files and if
they are the same in
size then delete the /tmp/file. I do this to make sure I get the log in the
nfs archive directory
and the /tmp is a backup if there is a problem. If audit is running there
is no way the files will
be equal in size while processing the /var/log/audit data in two different
intervals.
Thanks for feedback on this Lenny.

David,
It won't work like that; exactly the issue I described:
[r...@slim root]# mkdir logs-test
[r...@slim root]# cd !$
cd logs-test
[r...@slim logs-test]# auditctl -m "TEST message"
[r...@slim logs-test]# service auditd rotate
Rotating logs: [ OK ]
[r...@slim logs-test]# cp /var/log/audit/audit.log.1 .
[r...@slim logs-test]# ausearch -i -f `pwd` -m USER
<no matches>
[r...@slim logs-test]# grep TEST audit.log.1
node=slim type=USER msg=audit(1250529052.265:305135): user pid=8191
uid=0 auid=500 ses=4172 subj=user_u:user_r:user_t:s0 msg='TEST message:
exe="/sbin/auditctl" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=pts/18 res=success)'
LCB.
