Subject: rules.d on RHEL6
It appears that this directory is not used at all on RHEL6.
I know I have mentioned this before; but it's true. If I move my copy of
audit.rules from /etc/audit into the subdirectory rules.d and restart audit;
the audit.rules file is not recopied/regenerated or whatever by the auditd.
This behavior is different from RHEL7; where if you delete the
/etc/audit/audit.rules file or move it to /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules;
the auditd functions as I expect.
Can someone please correct my understanding? Is the /etc/audit/rules.d
directory not supposed to be usable in RHEL6; but is in RHEL7?
Its usable but you have to run
# augenrules --load
Note that this will overwrite /etc/audit/audit.rules
