I don't think anyone has plans to write those tools at the moment. That would 
be ideal. But even in the case where audit rules don't get loaded, there are 
audit events generated by the MAC systems and some hard coded kernel events 
and user space events. It would be nice to know they are not tampered with.

Question - from the title I had thought this was a good thing. But wasn't loginuid (and subsequently auid) already immutable?
Sorry; just not certain what this change does for the average guy...

Thx,
