AUDIT_SET_FAILURE(3) Linux Audit API AUDIT_SET_FAILURE(3)NAME
audit_set_failure - Set audit failure flag
SYNOPSIS
#include <libaudit.h>
int audit_set_failure (int fd, int failure);
DESCRIPTION
audit_set_failure sets the action that the kernel will perform when the backlog limit is reached or when it encounters an error and cannot
proceed. Possible values are:
0 - AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK [default]
Log the audit record using printk which will cause subsequent events to get written to syslog.
1 - AUDIT_FAIL_SILENT
Do nothing, report nothing, skip logging the record and continue.
2 - AUDIT_FAIL_PANIC
Call the panic function. This would be used to prevent use of the machine upon loss of audit events.
RETURN VALUE
The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence id number. This function can have any error that sendto would
encounter.
SEE ALSO audit_set_backlog(3), audit_open(3), auditd(8), auditctl(8).

Hi,
Does anyone seen this error before..
kernel: ENOMEM in journal_alloc_journal_head, retrying.
I encounter this problem on IBM eServers where when the above error appears usually the machine is dead or hanged. Unless a hard reboot is been done. Is this something have to do with the memory... (1 Reply)
hi all,
i have written the following code:

scanf("%c",&proceed);
}
the output i am gettin is:
Press

Hi,
As a a security audit, how can I proceed further with Fine tuning and Hardening the linux kernel... I am not sure with the steps how to proceed further... If i do some thing wrong, then its comes with the Kernel panic error. So, I am afraid, how to do the tuning with the kernel.. (1 Reply)
