The problem was in /etc/audit/auditd.conf
- see man 5 auditd.conf
In the case of not enough memory (for audit logs), it was set to switch the server into the single user mode:
space_left_action = SINGLE
admin_space_left_action = SINGLE
The fix was to tweak the values of space_left
and admin_space_left
or to revert the original values of:
space_left_action = SYSLOG
admin_space_left_action = SUSPEND
