Ok, going back to what you are trying to achieve in terms of high level
goals (e.g. maintain auditing on /etc/shadow across re-creation for each
transaction), I did the following:
	auditctl -w /etc/shadow -k SHADOW -p wa

i.e. show me all attempts to write or append to /etc/shadow.

Then I ran 'passwd' as a normal user and changed my own password, thus
re-creating /etc/shadow with my new password.  No audit messages were
generated.
