User space, yes, but from the Xorg server. Because X controls accesses
internally it apparently audits stuff using the USER_AVC in this way.
My confusion is that I thought any freetext should be allowed inside the
"msg=" field and not interpreted by ausearch.
I remember a while back though you told me why this can happen...so I
need to look back and see. I suspect because the parse libs work as I
think and the ausearch/aureport doesn't use those.?.
Thx,
LCB.
