Issue/Introduction

The denied audit log for the access to files under/proc with code 995.

DATE TIME    D FILE         user       CrWrite   995 10 /proc/file            /program/path       host                  user

Environment

Release : 14.1

Component : PAM SERVER CONTROL ENDPOINT UNIX/LINUX

Cause

This is working as intended.
Write access to the files under /proc is internal protected.
The code 995 means "Unauthorized access to internal resource".

Resolution

There is no real solution to prevent the '995' events appearing in seaudit

One option would be to set a specialpgm for the process  performing the access, e.g.:
AC> er SPECIALPGM /program/path pgmtype(all)


The audit log can be eliminated by audit.cfg.
