I re-tested today with the user space patch applied.  I thought I
would post my results in case they are different from what you found.

    1. -D (delete all rules) doesn't delete any rules
    2. identical rules can be added to the rules list, creating
       multiple entries of the same rule

    The following occur only when we have at least 1 watch on the
    watchlist:

    1. audit rules are not listed
    2. a non-existant rule can be deleted from the rules list, i.e. no
       failure message from auditctl, and a log record is generated
       saying a rule was removed

I see these bugs with the patched version of both audit-0.6.10 and
audit-0.7.1 running with the audit.24 kernel.  I haven't tried the
2.6.12 kernel yet.

Hope this helps.

Amy
