Hello Steve,
I know "list" and "action" can be changed, this is convenient.
But wildcard match maybe make user confused, for example "auditctl -a
noentry,noalways"
will add a rule same with "auditctl -a entry,always".
furthermore, comma must be used to seperate list and action according to manpage:
"Please note the comma separating the two values. Omitting it will cause
errors."
but now, "auditctl -a entryalways" will add the same rule.
So we'd better make it match explicitly. This is a patch for latest audit-1.7.4.

Each string should be recognized only in the
documented position IMHO.
The patch also replaces case-sensitive matching by case-insensitive,
which is not described above.
If such changes in the semantics of the parameter are accepted, at
minimum the auditctl.8 man page should be updated as well.

New subject: [PATCH] make it match explicitly when use option '-a', '-A' and '-d' to specify "list,action"

CC Steve,
Thanks for you comment,

No, it is undocumented. As an author of system-config-audit I'd much
prefer if audit rejected such options, replicating the exact code in
auditctl in order to handle all undocumented behavior the same way as
auditctl is rather impractical.
Indeed it is uncompatible with manpage, but it seems that Mr. Steve
like this convenient method:
=======refer to mail from Steve(2008/05/08)====================

I was always mixing up the order when writing rules, so I fixed auditctl to
take it in either order. Its been like this for 3-4 years.
p = strchr(opt, ',');
if (p == NULL || strchr(p + 1, ',') != NULL)
return 2;
would be simpler.
I think so, thanks..

The patch also replaces case-sensitive matching by case-insensitive,
which is not described above.
Both strstr and strcmp are case-sensitive.
If such changes in the semantics of the parameter are accepted, at
minimum the auditctl.8 man page should be updated as well.
I think the manpage
should introduce that the order of "list"
and "action" can be changed.
What's the opinion of Mr. Steve? If you think the manpage is right,
we should correct the code to compatible with it, and I'll make
another patch.
if order insensitive is right, the simpler patch now:

You're obviously right, I'm

Hello Steve,
What your opinion about this patch?
Perhaps you think we'd better be compatible with the manpage now.
So I made another patch according to the introduction of manpage.
Whether there is a comma should be check because it is said in
the manpage:
Please note the comma separating the two values. Omitting it
will cause errors.
Then 'list' and 'action' will be obtained separately.
Do you agree with me? This is the new patch for latest code in
audit SVN project.

Ok, but I tested this commit a moment ago. I think this is a bug about usage
of strchr().
strchr returns a pointer, this pointer should be given to 'p' directly.

We'd better correct this bug ASAP. Otherwise no rule can be added/deleted
and the error message reported is very strange, e.g.
# ./auditctl -a entry,always
Append rule - bad keyword Wntry,always
# ./auditctl -d never,exit
Delete rule - bad keyword Yever,exit
