From: Enzo Matsumiya Subject: init.d/auditd.service: enable ExecStopPost directive in auditd.service References: bsc#1190227 This has caused confusion for customers when relating stopping auditd service is the same as stopping system auditing. This is completely understandable, but it's by design, so kauditd can keep filling its queues for any other userspace daemon to consume. Disable audit when auditd.service stops, so kauditd stops logging/running.
