As I pointed in my initial post, auditd cannot start! OK, I can force permissive mode, then start auditd, switch back to enforced mode and then execute auditctl. Then, may be, I could find the offending path/files causing the issues with the other programs I have listed in my logs, but how do I deal with the auditd itself? auditctl requires auditd to be running in order to show the paths, isn't that not the case? -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
