Solaris 8 BSM auditing issue

Hi

I have a problem with BSM auditing on Solaris 8 machines. I am using the
audit_event flag aa for all audit events which relate to audit usage, such
as getaudit, setaudit, getuseraudit and so on.

I want to audit these events for failure only, so I configured audit_control
as follows:

dir:/var/audit
flags:lo,ad,na,-aa
minfree:20
naflags:all

I also tried doing it this way:

dir:/var/audit
flags:lo,ad,na,^+aa
minfree:20
naflags:all

However I am still getting success of aa events reported to me. I have run
auditconfig -conf and audit -s having made the changes, I have rebooted the
box but to no avail.

Is there anyway I can stop successful aa events from being logged?

Thanks
Olivia
