+What: Audit Login UID
+Date: 2005-02-01
+KernelVersion: 2.6.11-rc2 1e2d1492e178 ("[PATCH] audit: handle loginuid through proc")
+Contact: linux-audit@redhat.com
+Users: audit and login applications
+Description:
+ The /proc/$pid/loginuid pseudofile is written to set and
+ read to get the audit login UID of process $pid as a
+ decimal unsigned int (%u, u32). If it is unset,
+ permissions are not needed to set it. The accessor must
+ have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL in the initial user namespace to
+ write it if it has been set. It cannot be written again
+ if AUDIT_FEATURE_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE is enabled. It
+ cannot be unset if AUDIT_FEATURE_ONLY_UNSET_LOGINUID is
+ enabled.

+What: Audit Login Session ID
+Date: 2008-03-13
+KernelVersion: 2.6.25-rc7 1e0bd7550ea9 ("[PATCH] export sessionid alongside the loginuid in procfs")
+Contact: linux-audit@redhat.com
+Users: audit and login applications
+Description:
+ The /proc/$pid/sessionid pseudofile is read to get the
+ audit login session ID of process $pid as a decimal
+ unsigned int (%u, u32). It is set automatically,
+ serially assigned with each new login.
