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. > If it is same, then how i can show that this two things are same. I saw > about the > function setauid and setlogin also. Please tell me the difference in > between this. 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. -Steve -- Linux-audit mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
