Audit 2.0.4 auid issue

Hello,



I would like to configure auditd to only log events issued by some users
acting as root after a 'sudo su -'



Unfortunately, after the user system makes a "sudo su -" the ids of user are
the same as root.



Heres is the log of the command date issued by the user "system" uid 500





May 27 10:20:36 doma audispd: node=doma type=SYSCALL
msg=audit(1274948436.000:57884): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0

May 27 10:20:36 doma audispd: node=doma type=EXECVE
msg=audit(1274948436.000:57884): a0="date"

Here's the same report of the date command after the user "system" changed
its id using sudo su - :

tty=tty1 comm="date" exe="/bin/date" key=(null)

May 27 10:22:13 doma audispd: node=doma type=EXECVE

dev=fd:60 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00



Any idea for me to idendify the primary login user for one specific command
?



At first I've though it was auid but its value is always set at 4294967295



I've also searched for logging commands specifics to a TTY but it seems
auditd cannot filter on one specific TTY.



I've compiled and run audit on our own version of linux.



Regards



FP.
