Good afternoon,

I have TTY auditing set up on a number of hosts using pam_tty_audit for the 
root account. I have this line in a PAM file to enable it:

session   required pam_tty_audit.so disable=* enable=root

In looking at the reports from aureport and ausearch, the number of TTY events 
is always equal to the number of USER_TTY events. For instance:

# ausearch -i -m TTY -ts today | wc -l ; ausearch -i -m USER_TTY -ts today | wc 
-l
20
20

I started wondering, “Are there always the same number of these two event 
types?” I tried constructing some synthetic cases to see if there is a case 
where there isn’t an equal number of the two events. I couldn’t construct such 
a case.  Is there a case of cases where the two type event types aren’t of 
equal number?

Thanks for your help,

Gary Smith
