There is a different default setting between rhel6 and 7. See /etc/default/auditd I think
has a parameter that controls the use of /etc/audit/rules.d.

I know I have mentioned this before; but it's true. If I *move* my
copy of
audit.rules from /etc/audit into the subdirectory rules.d and restart
audit; the audit.rules file is not recopied/regenerated or whatever by
the
auditd.
This behavior is different from RHEL7; where if you delete the
/etc/audit/audit.rules file or move it to
/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules;
the auditd functions as I expect.
Can someone please correct my understanding? Is the /etc/audit/rules.d
directory not supposed to be usable in RHEL6; but is in RHEL7?
