When I do this command, I see AVC's:

time->Thu Sep 28 16:25:12 2006
type=AVC msg=audit(1159475112.366:289): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  
pid=12893 comm="auditctl" name="/" dev=hda7 ino=2 
scontext=root:system_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t:s0 tclass=filesystem

allow auditctl_t fs_t:filesystem getattr;
allow auditctl_t security_t:dir search;
