Hello,
Just spent some time debugging auditctl, it was doing something I thought was
weird. I tracked it down to this patch, see below for commentary...
On Friday, May 24, 2013 12:11:44 PM Eric Paris wrote:
The audit_status structure was not designed with extensibility in
mind.
Define a new AUDIT_SET_FEATURE message type which takes a new structure
of bits where things can be enabled/disabled/locked one at a time. This
structure should be able to grow in the future while maintaining forward
and backward compatibility (based loosly on the ideas from capabilities
and prctl)
This does not actually add any features, but is just infrastructure to
allow new on/off types of audit system features.

Isn't this broke? This returns the status (AUDIT_GET) instead of all the bits
that got set via the set_feature command. It needs to build a struct
audit_features and send it back using AUDIT_GET_FEATURE as the netlink msg
type.
