tconsole generates a lot of noise in the audit log

tconsole is generating a lot of noise in the audit log. This is likely due to grabbing information about uptime, load average, etc. through sudo. Perhaps the sudo calls are unnecessary?

Developer comment:
This is part of a bigger problem caused by PHP doing a lot of shell calls using sudo. It could possibly be better if the webconfig could use native calls instead of shell calls.
Auditing can be turned off for the session by running auditctl -e 0
from the command line (e.g from /etc/rc.d/rc.local) or by adding the parameter audit=0
to the boot line in grub.cfg
