If /etc/audit/auditd.conf encounters conflicting duplicate settings,
what happens? Takes the first, takes the last, or what? For example:

        space_left = 25
        space_left = 100

It overwrites the first value with the second one. You can also run:

# service auditd state

to see what the current value is if your audit daemon is somewhat recent.

Hey Steve, a follow up. Is the man page for auditd.conf wrong? My auditd failed to start when giving space_left with a '%' sign.

 space_left
    This is a numeric value in megabytes that tells the audit daemon
    when  to  perform  a  configurable  action because the system is
    starting to run low on disk space. You may also append a percent
    sign  (e.g. 5%) to the number to have the audit daemon calculate
    the number based on the disk partition size.


Thanks!

Leam
