[PATCH 0/5] audit: add restricted capability read-only netlink multicast socket

[Richard Guy Briggs]

Hi, 

This patch set adds a restricted capability read-only netlink multicast socket
to kaudit to enable userspace clients such as systemd to consume audit logs, in
addition to the existing bidirectional auditd userspace client. 
    
Currently, auditd has the CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL and CAP_AUDIT_WRITE capabilities
(both use CAP_NET_ADMIN).  The CAP_AUDIT_READ capability will be added for use
by read-only AUDIT_NLGRP_READLOG multicast group clients to the kaudit
subsystem.
  
This is accomplished by modifying the optional netlink per-protocol bind
function to return an error code.

It needs a bit of massage to get past checkpatch.pl...
