Not seeing access denied audit messages in restricted subdirectories

Greetings, I have the following 2 audit rules set up: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S all -F exit=-EACCES -F dir=/gpfs/fs1 -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S all -F exit=-EPERM -F dir=/gpfs/fs1 I have a directory structure like the following: (13:15:26) zippleback-vm1:~ # ls -la /gpfs/fs1/test/ total 257 drwx------. 3 root root 4096 Nov 7 12:46 . drwxr-xr-x. 15 root root 262144 Nov 7 12:50 .. drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Nov 7 12:46 test2 Essentially, directory "/gpfs/fs1/test/" is owned by root and has permissions 700. The subdirectory underneath it (with path /gpfs/fs1/test/test2) is also owned by root and has permissions 700. When I have a non-root user attempt to list the contents of directory "/gpfs/fs1/test/" I receive an audit message for the denied access. However, when the non-root user attempts to list the contents of the subdirectory (/gpfs/fs1/test/test2), there is no audit message generated. Does anyone know why this is and how I get audit messages in both cases? Thanks, John John T. Olson, Ph.D., MI.C., K.EY.
