Please just go for it. secteam@ hasn't been very responsive of late.

Will this fix the problem of new auditfile generation? The current one
is from the 1st and there have been several changes since then.

While you're at it, a feature request (although this is probably in a
different part of the code). It would be nice if the individual HTML
pages, such as
http://portaudit.freebsd.org/b7b03bab-c296-11d8-bfb2-000bdb1444a4.html
had a link back to the main page, http://portaudit.freebsd.org/.
