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.
Usually it writes the reason why in syslog. Does it say anything there?
I don't grok systemd, so here's the whole response:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status auditd.service

The issue is here ^^^ To use percentages, you have to be on 2.8.5 or later.
Ah, gotcha! I was using a rebuildable VM for testing, and hadn't
updated. Thanks!
