Following the poor practice of replying to my own email :(
Apparently most of the data in audit.log is associated with PAM auditing.

I am using a Linux system (RHEL 6.9) with no audit rules set:
$ sudo auditctl -l
No rules
but some data is still populating the audit log file
/var/log/audit/audit.log
Are there processes (or kernel code) that generate their own audit events that bypass the
configured audit rules?
Thanks,
