When stopping auditd during a system shutdown, I see the following

My audit.rules file looks like:

-w /etc/sudoers -p wa -k actions -p wax

-e 2

The only ways I've found to fix this is to remove the -e 2 option, but
we need our rules to be immutable?
Right. If its immutable, you cannot delete the rule. I suppose I could add some code
here so that it succeed but outputs the reason why it cannot honor the request.
Also based on looking at the auditd init script, setting
AUDITD_CLEAN_STOP=no during shutdown would work, but I don't want to
modify the script.
You would normally modify /etc/sysconfig/auditd to adjust this setting. This is
considered a config file that rpm will not overwrite.
