Description Steve Grubb 2009-05-18 14:44:59 UTC

Description of problem
When you have a recursive audit rule watching a directory and its subtree and you remove the directory, you only get an audit event saying the rule is removed and not one on the directory itself. There should be 2 audit events: one on the directory and one saying the rule was removed.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir /tmp/test
2. auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/tmp/test -F key=test
3. rmdir /tmp/test
4. ausearch --start recent -k test
  
Actual results:
time->Mon May 18 10:42:26 2009
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1242657746.295:37): auid=4325 ses=1 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0 op=add rule key="test2" list=4 res=1
----
time->Mon May 18 10:42:33 2009
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1242657753.089:38): op=remove rule dir="/tmp/test" key="test2" list=4 res=1


Expected results:
One more event that contains at least a syscall and path record.
