Yeah, but how do we know its really selecting the right feature?

I would like it better if the following was tested as root:

auditctl -s
echo "1" > /proc/self/loginuid
auditctl --loginuid-immutable
auditctl -s
echo "2" > /proc/self/loginuid

This was we know that the feature is correctly reported, selected, and 
working.
