ooops, this will sound so dummy.
It seems I overwrote some existing audit policy my system already has.
I issued the following command:

#auditmask -x /tmp/alaa

thought that will audit the file /tmp/alaa.

however I ended up finding such process running:

root 1291907 1048577 0.0 07:37:22 ?? 0:00.02 /usr/sbin/auditd -l /var/audit/auditlog -c syslog -o overwrite

so I killed this process, but when I checked the file /tmp/alaa
I fouond it full of auditing records, so now it is contains the auditing recoreds instead of being audited.

any advise??

Thanks
