The service `auditd` doesn't start at boot on a VMWare Virtual Machine whenever the system reboots with the service `/etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware-toolscfg` runs for a real VMware Tools configuration.
Issue
The service auditd
doesn't start at boot on a VMWare Virtual Machine whenever the system reboots with the service /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware-toolscfg
runs for a real VMware Tools configuration.
If system is booted into runlevel 3, chkconfig
is configured at the following settings.
#chkconfig --list auditd
auditd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:on 5:on 6:off
And if in runlevel 5
, following are the results after booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
#chkconfig --list auditd
auditd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:off 6:off
Before rebooting the machine, the service vmware-toolscfg
and auditd
is running and chkconfig
settings are fine as follows.
#chkconfig --list auditd
auditd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- VMware Virtual Machine with vmware-tools installed.
