Multiple Rule Logic

Hey Steve,

I was wondering what is to be expected when multiple rules exist that 
pertain to the same action.

Examples:
entry,always -S chmod   - should see a record for chmod
exclude,always -S all   - should never see any sys calls

Combined, should I expect a chmod record?

 From my experiments with the current code, if any one rule instructs 
audit to log the action, auditd will log it (i.e. I'll see a chmod 
record). I'm wondering if this is the intended functionality.

Thanks,
Mike
