augenrules: -F missing operation for -k

augenrules: -F missing operation for -k

Does anybody know what this error means?
      augenrules: -F missing operation for -k

I cannot figure out what rule is causing this, so I need a little
more context to figure out what to look for in my *.rules files under
/etc/audit/rules.d.


Thanks in advance,

It means there is no value associated with a -F name=value construct. I am 
thinking syslog should have the line number in the rules where this comes 
from.  Do you a -k some where that doesn't look right?

Actually, I misspoke. In the name=vale portion, it didn't find the '=' where 
one was expected. Since it mentions '-k', you might be mixing watch syntax 
with syscall syntax.  -k keyname is valid with watches.  For syscalls its -F 
key=keyname.

Steve, thanks.  I am finally back in my environment looking for the
problem-syntax based on your feedback.  I found nothing that matches "key=
<space>" or "-k <space>".

I don't see the error anymore.  Perhaps a coworker addressed it.
