Sounds like you are going about it in a good way FWIW.

That file looks like this here, in full:
# This file contains the auditctl rules that are loaded
# whenever the audit daemon is started via the initscripts.
# The rules are simply the parameters that would be passed
# to auditctl.
# First rule - delete all
-D
# Increase the buffers to survive stress events.
# Make this bigger for busy systems
-b 320
# Feel free to add below this line. See auditctl man page
Here's the state of the selinux packages here for reference
# rpm -qa | grep selinux
libselinux-2.0.14-9.fc7
libselinux-python-2.0.14-9.fc7
selinux-policy-targeted-2.6.4-48.fc7
selinux-policy-2.6.4-48.fc7
# rpm -qa | grep audit
audit-libs-python-1.5.6-2.fc7
audit-libs-1.5.6-2.fc7
audit-1.5.6-2.fc7
# chkconfig --list | grep audit
auditd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
I would nuke the entries at the end of your /etc/audit/auditd.rules and
retry.
