good morning list,

i installed auditd on my gentoo server.
installation runs without error, but on start i get this:

# /etc/init.d/auditd start
* Starting auditd ... [ ok ]
touch: cannot touch '/var/lock/subsys/auditd': No such file or directory
 * Loading audit rules from /etc/audit/audit.rules

seems /var/lock/ `subsys/auditd` is missing.
that was easy to fix, but has to be repeated after every reboot.


in auditd.log i get entries like this:

type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(1412022284.553:2446): table=mangle family=2 entries=6 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1412022284.553:2446): arch=c000003e syscall=54 success=yes exit=0 a0=4 a1=0 a2=40 a3=1144850 items=0 ppid=2070 pid=2130 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="iptables" exe="/sbin/xtables-multi" key=(null)

i want to suppress these messages.
in my understanding of the man page i have to put such a rule into audit.rules:

-a exclude,never -F msgtype=NETFILTER_CFG , but this isnt working. the messages still appears.

my config of my fresh auditd install:

# First rule - delete all
# This is to clear out old rules, so we don't append to them.
-D

# Feel free to add below this line. See auditctl man page

-a exclude,never -F msgtype=NETFILTER_CFG

# The following rule would cause all of the syscalls listed to be ignored in logging. -a exit,never -F arch=b32 -S read -S write -S open -S fstat -S mmap -S brk -S munmap -S nanosleep -S fcntl -S close -S dup2 -S rt_sigaction -S stat -a exit,never -F arch=b64 -S read -S write -S open -S fstat -S mmap -S brk -S munmap -S nanosleep -S fcntl -S close -S dup2 -S rt_sigaction -S stat
-a exclude,never -F msgtype=NETFILTER_CFG

# The following rule would cause the capture of all systems not caught above.
# -a exit,always -S all

# Increase the buffers to survive stress events
-b 8192

# lock the audit configuration to prevent any modification of this file.
-e 2




i installed audit 2.2.2-r2 on gentoo if this is of intzerest.


thank you
