OK, I'm back with new evidence of a problem after what I think is
correct setup. I put only the subj_type as a comparator even though I
want a more restrictive set. the rule was set with the "-A" flag.

* My rules start with (use "auditctl -l"):

LIST_RULES: entry,always arch=3221225534 (0xc000003e)
syscall=mknod,mknodat
LIST_RULES: entry,always arch=3221225534 (0xc000003e)
syscall=mount,umount2
LIST_RULES: exit,never subj_type=jcdx_mtdb_t syscall=all
...

* I note the date:
Thu Aug  6 20:36:31 UTC 2009

* I search again later (using ausearch) and find:

node=jcdx type=PATH msg=audit(08/06/2009 20:42:20.726:21672) : item=0

tcontext=system_u:object_r:jcdx_stdb_var_t:s15:c0.c1023 tclass=dir 


So it appears that the "never" rule is not firing...right? 
I'm not sure if the rule applies to only the info in the "type=syscall"
line. Really I want to compare against the specific scontext/tcontext
pair in the "type=AVC" line. 

Thanks in advance,
LCB.
