The 2.6.17 kernel, which is not released, changes this behavior so that it 
generates an event that looks something like this:

type=MAC_CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1149610548.301:384): bool=user_ping 
val=0 old_val=1 auid=501

The messages you are seeing comes from SE Linux policy which can be changed 
once this patch is in an official kernel. You would still see an event for 
each boolean that was set/reset. If policy does not get changed, you will see 
2 events for each set/reset.
