Hi,

So I'm curious, auditd catches abnormal process termination (SIGSEGV, ...) with a 1701 audit message, can catch 'clean' termination by monitoring syscall (exit, exitgroup), however I don't see anything to catch process termination by a SIGKILL. if I audit the kill() system call then I see the call to send the signal, but I would have expected the system to offer auditing of an actual SIGKILL *reception* (because you can pass -1 as target PID to sigkill, which kills all processes reachable by the caller and will make auditing by syscall very hard to do), am I missing something ? Is there a parameter to set somehow that I'm missing ?

Thanks,

Hassan
