System Panics when Root Processes are Killed
Issue
- System panics when users attempt to kill root-owned processes
- auditd is set to force a system panic on audit failure
-
However, when certain processes are killed, this panic appears to occur erroneously:
root> kill <process> (No errors) user> sudo kill <root_owned_process> (panic)
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3
