Not trapping 'symlink' system call

[Eric Howard]

I have been tasked to generate test cases to validate the proper execution of particular syscall audit flags.  In most cases I have succeeded in triggering audit log entries.  However, I have been unable to trigger audit entries for the 'symlink call'  My test cases are generated by a shell script that execute commands to trigger the relevant calls.  In my test case I created a hard-link and a soft-link using /bin/ln.  Running strace indicated that the syscall was definitely made but  'ausearch -sc symlink' shows nothing.  I am using audit-1.0.15-3.EL4.  Any insight into this problem would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Eric Howard
