This type of thing is not a concern for CAPP and LSPP, since

in practical use either - an audit subsystem that could cope with
malicious administrators reliably would need to be designed differently.
Yes, that's the same conversation I was having with Tim. That will take
any mount issues off the table, as they are identical.
I guess it would be possible to set up a watch list on "/"
to monitor
renames/recreation of /etc though, which would at least give admins the
chance to notice this kind of thing happening.
Right, that's what I meant by watching the whole tree.
