Could people having this problem please check the size of /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz and try to run portaudit -Fa to refetch the database and check again? For reference: [simon@zaphod:/tmp] ls -l /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 31762 6 Nov 22:40 /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz There have been one previous report where a problem with the portaudit database build resulted in an incomplete auditfile which was then fixed after the next portaudit database rebuild. -- Simon L.
