Doc Text:
.USBGuard now can send Audit messages As part of service hardening, the capabilities of `usbguard.service` were limited while the `CAP_AUDIT_WRITE` capability was missing. As a consequence, `usbguard` running as a system service could not send Audit events. With this update, the service configuration has been updated, and as a result, USBGuard can send Audit messages.
