            Bug ID: 229580
           Summary: sbin/audit creates zombie for auditd when issuing
                    audit -n
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: driesm.michiels at gmail.com

When my cron script forces the rotate of the audit trail file by audit -n.
A zombie process is created.

root at vados:~ # service auditd status
auditd is running as pid 15967.

root at vados:~ # audit -n
Trigger sent.

64 processes:  1 running, 62 sleeping, 1 zombie

root at vados:~ # service auditd stop
Trigger sent.

root at vados:~ # service auditd start
Starting auditd.

63 processes:  1 running, 62 sleeping

So it seems to keep running but creates one zombie after "audit -n".
