Login uid is the original id that a user logs in with. However, that is not as 
concise 
as it could be. So, in the logs its represented as auid to save bytes because 
it will 
show up in all events. They are synonymous.

There is no setauid function. There is a audit_setloginuid() function that you 
could 
write a short program to see what it does. It creates a LOGIN event - which is 
really 
to indicate that a loginuid was assigned.
