From 40c0775e5ea47667db497565b79a8dc154530992 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Guy Briggs Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:28:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] audit: allow unlimited backlog queue Since audit can already be disabled by "audit=0" on the kernel boot line, or by the command "auditctl -e 0", it would be more useful to have the audit_backlog_limit set to zero mean effectively unlimited (limited only by system RAM).
