Hello Experts,
We have a big customer that facing the following issue on RHEL 6.2.
As per customer request I've configured the following rules:
$ cat audit.rules
# This file contains the auditctl rules that are loaded
# whenever the audit daemon is started via the initscripts.
# The rules are simply the parameters that would be passed
# to auditctl.
# First rule - delete all
-D
# Increase the buffers to survive stress events.
# Make this bigger for busy systems
-b 320
# Feel free to add below this line. See auditctl man page
-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -F euid=0 -S execve -k rootact
-a exit,always -F arch=b32 -F euid=0 -S execve -k rootact
-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -F euid>=500 -S execve -k useract
-a exit,always -F arch=b32 -F euid>=500 -S execve -k useract
Audit start working as expected. Now customer is asking to exclude/ignore
the following from audit logs:

What would be the best way to exclude such audit?
Your help would be much appreciated.
What's objectionable about these events? The fact that its got a key says
they think they wanted it.
