Re: Wrong audit message type when policy is reloaded
I guess I should have CCed the linux-audit mailing list from the start.
As said in my initial mail (see bellow) wheb SELinux user object manager
are reloading the policy, an audit message with a wrong type is logged
USER_AVC vs USER_MAC_POLICY_LOAD.

I think when they introduced the audit support, they should have added
a new type value in libselinux for MAC_POLICY_LOAD, and then they
could have handled this cleanly in their callback functions. That is
what I would do. I guess now we have to figure out how to do so
compatibly...
