Do we really need to audit_log that? I would think that syslog is enough. We 
already have an event that a policy load occurred, can it be assumed that all 
these were updated? We do not do audit_log for other things that may or may 
not exist. For example, what if you put a rule in for uid=5000 when you meant 
500. The kernel does not say anything.
