Hello,

I am currently porting auditd to a new platform. When starting it using `auditd 
-f`, I get the following error:

"Error setting audit daemon pid (File exists)"

It occurs during the call to `audit_set_pid(fd, getpid(), WAIT_YES);` in 
auditd.c. If I understand correctly, this call registers auditd with the 
kernel, is that correct? fd looks like a valid file descriptor, at least its 
>0. Especially the "file exists" part confuses me. In which direction can I 
investigate that error?

Thank you and greets,
Felix
