Description Roland Mainz 2004-12-02 15:27:51 UTC

RFE: AUDIT messages should contain uid/gid for local accesses (to match more or
less the si:localuser and si:localgroup auth. methods).

Example:
Running an Xserver with "-audit 4" results in the following audit messages:
-- snip --
AUDIT: Thu Dec  2 23:38:51 2004: 4397 Xprt: client 1 connected from local host
AUDIT: Thu Dec  2 23:38:51 2004: 4397 Xprt: client 1 disconnected
-- snip --
It would be nice if the "connected from local host" could be extended to
something like "connected from local host, uid=23933(intruder)
gid=233406(happyhackers)"

uid is interesting, not sure gid is (you can always look that up). 
Change is easy to do - see patch coming next.
