Those of you who follow the SELinux and/or LSM mailing lists know there is
work currently underway to provide static or fallback network peer labels for
use when traditional labeled networking (CIPSO or Labeled IPsec) is not
present. For the same reasons that NetLabel or Labeled IPsec configuration
changes are considered "auditable events", configuring the static/fallback
labels should likely be treated as an auditable event as well.
The patch below is part of a larger patchset which contains this new
functionality which has already been posted many times to the SELinux and LSM
lists. Those interested in the patchset are encouraged to look into the
archives of those mailing lists or check out the git tree here:

I'm posting this patch to the audit list for comments/review as it contains
all of the audit related changes and I'd like to sort out any issues the
audit community may have sooner rather than later. Please take a few minutes
to look over the changes, most importantly the new message types and either
send me mail or preferably send mail straight to the audit list.
For reference, here are four examples of the new message types pulled from a
Fedora Rawhide machine running this patch:
* adding new fallback label using network interface "lo" and
address "127.0.0.0/8"
