auid bug

[Linda Knippers]

Are you sure you have pam_loginuid.so configured in the appropriate
/etc/pam.d/* files, such as login and sshd?

I'm running the .41 kernel and the audit-1.2.4 tools and
the auid is correct in the audit records on my system.

This is what my /etc/pam.d/login file looks like:
#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     pam_securetty.so
auth       include      system-auth
account    required     pam_nologin.so
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
# pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule
session    required     pam_selinux.so close
session    include      system-auth
session    required     pam_loginuid.so
session    optional     pam_console.so
# pam_selinux.so open should be the last session rule
session    required     pam_selinux.so open
