Hello,
I was wondering, the currently proposed solution to compile the rules
when using systemd (copying the .services into /etc by hand) seems
pretty hackish to me. Wouldn't it be better if there was a 2nd systemd
.service file dedicated to call augenrules, disabled by default and
depending against the main auditd.service file?
This way the user could enable that new service instead of copying
files by hand. This sounds better in distribution-wise and in cases
changes are made to the .service file, the user will not be stuck with
an old version in /etc.
Any idea on this?
Not sure yet what the best approach is. Normally when restarting the audit
daemon you would get the latest rules loaded into the kernel. By separating
them, you wouldn't get that any more.
