You knocked down my military server - who cares. You stole my list of secret command centres - Im deeply upset.

Or even worse: you stole my list of command centers and I don't
even know it happened. At least with an audit trail you have a chance of knowing your secrets have been compromised.

Banks also seem to like the idea of a server that will crash
rather than transfer funds without leaving a trail.

So how long till Linux gets decent auditing? Is the SNARE code going
to get into the kernel?

...and on a related topic, if someone wrote a patch to optionally clear
the swap area at swapoff would it ever be accepted?
