Massive audit log spamming

807557Jun 17 2010
I've got a Solaris system who's bsm audit logs are growing at a rate of several gigabytes per day. The contents of the logs (/var/audit/*) don't seem to be matching up to what's configured in the /etc/security/audit_control and audit_user files. As a matter of fact, I've totally cleared those files out, ran "audit -s", restarted the system, etc and the log files continue to grow.

This is what I mean by "cleared out":

bash-3.00# cat /etc/security/audit_control
dir:/var/audit
minfree:20
naflags:
flags:


Can anybody help me understand why my audit logs continue to grow when, to the best of my knowledge, it shouldn't be matching anything?
