cannot connect by dialup

So try:
service auditd start

But first open another terminal and do a tail -f /var/log/messages and then run the above command and see what the output is fromthe messages terminal.

That produced this, which looks the same I earlier posted

Thank you very much for helping me.

I am wondering why the permission is denied. Or is that any other problem?

No this is problem.
Is the directory /var/log/audit there?
what are the permissions?
Is the auditd.log file in there? and it's permissions.

What is the output of:

ls -ld /var /var/log /var/log/audit

EDIT: oops, sorry -- "audit", not "auditd"... (Thanks, Skiboy)

[Skiboy]

What is the output of:

ls -ld /var /var/log /var/log/auditd

That last directory should be /var/log/audit and in there you should have auditd.log.

[anoop_anooprs]

The folder audit is there.
It has permission 750, drwxr-x--x (may be wrong, correct value in next post. Must restart)
The log file is not there, I will move it to there and set permissions as its parent dierectory

[Skiboy]

check the spelling, please.

no need to restart the pc only try to restart the service.

Somewhere in the distraction of my typo error, I believe the point was missed -- the permissions of '/var' and '/var/log' can [possibly] also affect... Check those permissions as well... (just in case)

EDIT:
Also - "just in case" - check ownership of all three...

(The 'ls' command I suggested above would have made all of this known in one short operation.)

/var/log/audit drwxr-x--
/var/log/audit/auditd.log -rwxr-x--

The owner of theses files is root
