    Hi,

    Most likely your audit trail isn't corrupted (otherwise praudit
    won't be able to read it either). Perhaps you've hit bugid 4174308
    which makes auditreduce to fail if you're also monitoring network
    events (AUT_SOCKET token).
    
    This has been fixed in Solaris 8. For older released make sure that
    you've installed the correct patches. For Solaris 2.6 you'll need
    patch 105181-30. For Solaris 7 one of these: 106832-01, 107117-03,
    106541-08 (or later).
    
    If these patches don't address your problem, then you should log a
    service call by Sun and ask for investigation (what exactly is broken).
    
    Bye,
      Wolfgang.
