praudit after work leaves /dev/auditpipeX files.

2012-09-24 Thread Ivan Klymenko
Hi all.

I run command praudit /dev/auditpipe and watch its output to the
console, and i stop the praudit, but /dev/auditpipeX files remain.

I have not found a way how to remove the files /dev/auditpipeX - only
to rebooted.

Is it a bug?

Thanks.

Hi Ivan:

Cloning device nodes will garbage collect as a result of pressure from other 
device nodes being created, or possibly if system memory gets low. At some 
point we may transition to using a single device nodes with per-session state, 
supported as of FreeBSD 8.x if I recall, and patches have been circulated -- 
however, it should make no practical difference from a user perspective. So, in 
conclusion, no, not a bug, just a feature that might be surprising.
