Sucess or failure?

[Michael Mather]

Thanks for the replies.

The problem is that the PCI requirements say:

10.3 Record at least the following audit trail entries for all system
components for each event:
...
10.3.4 Success or failure indication.

I don't know if PCI would accept the notion that this was success.
