That might have been targeted for the 7.4 kernel. > Does anyone have any recommendations on how to track elevated privileges > for all RHEL 6/7 systems? The exe field is used for what we call audit by executable. This is for when you want to zero in on a particular program performing some action like calling accept. If you simply want notification that an application was invoked, the you would just setup a watch for execute. -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/su -F perm=x -F key=10.2.5.b-elevated-privs- session That should work across RHEL 6 & 7. Also, you will get events from pam as the user authenticates and starts the session. So, you should be able to find those with this search: ausearch --start today -x /usr/bin/su -m USER_START -w -i -Steve -- Linux-audit mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
