Auditd (How to disable)
I'm running CentOS 5.x and want to disable this daemon as it's crashing my server daily!

I didn't install that and don't know why it's started magically for some reason.


Please enlighten me to the answer to this question, I've read the man pages on this and found something that stops it temporary. I'd like to permanently disable that.

It was saying originally the backlog limit was stopping my server but i upped the limit. Do i have to do something in the .conf file?

What should I do??? Help!


Thanks!!!Smilie

Code:
service auditd stop # now
chkconfig auditd off # after reboot

There must be a reason why the limit is being exceeded. Perhaps you should investigate that?
