I am writing puppet modules for work now. I am writing a module
specifically oriented around audit for Linux and Solaris.

But I would like to know is after updating audit.rules in Linux with
immutable mode turned on; is a restart of the audit process actually
required for the rules to take effect.

I believe it always is, but I want to be certain.

Thanks,

\\Warron French from mobile

In immutable mode, a REBOOT is required to reload audit rules. In immutable 
mode, the rules are locked into the kernel. So, the kernel needs restarting.

Thanks Steve, that's what I thought.  I just wanted to unclutter my memory and get it clear in my understanding.

I am moving on to another job, so I have decided to attempt to set up a more personal email (driven) account with the Linux Audit Mailing List.

I hope to engage the List from that newly associated account in the near future.
Thanks,

Warron French, MBA, SCSA
