Solaris audit to syslog - where is arguments to the commands executed?

Hi,

we have server, that is auditing actions executed, and then sends them to the syslog server.

But there is arguments to issued to the commands in the audit trail, but there is no such arguments in the syslog output on the syslog server!

Example - I executed:

Code:
# ls -la

audit trail on the server
Code:
header,151,2,execve(2),,server.com,2010-03-17 18:50:46.784 +00:00
path,/usr/bin/ls
attribute,100555,root,bin,85,339,0
exec_args,2,ls,-la
subject,root,root,root,root,root,5259,3491027475,12281 131094 
return,success,0
zone,global

syslog output:
Code:
Mar 17 18:50:46 server.com audit: [ID 702911 audit.notice] execve(2) ok session 3491027475 by root as root:root in global from anotherserver.com obj /usr/bin/ls


Why am I missing the -la argument to the ls in the syslog output?

That`s mine conf files:
Code:
cat /etc/security/audit_control
#
# Copyright (c) 1988 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
#
# ident "@(#)audit_control.txt  1.4     00/07/17 SMI"
#
dir:/var/audit
flags:lo,ex
minfree:20
naflags:lo
plugin:name=audit_syslog.so; p_flags=all

Code:
# auditconfig -getpolicy
audit policies = argv,cnt,zonename


Thanks!

Seems like noone has the answer...
I ended up with a solution like sharing NFS share, and aggregating audit trails there. Not the most elegant solution - but it works.

We`re waiting for the PSARC/2009/208 - sending audit logs to remote system to take it`s way into production!
