Hi,

I was noticing that I'm seeing OBJ_PID records sometimes when there is 
MAC_POLICY_LOAD event. I didn't think these two would go together. I'm seeing 
this:

type=OBJ_PID msg=audit(09/18/2007 06:26:21.236:216) : opid=3211  
obj=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(09/18/2007 06:26:21.236:216) : arch=x86_64 
syscall=write success=yes exit=1592854 a0=4 a1=2aaaaaae2000 a2=184e16 a3=0 
items=0 ppid=3333 pid=3334 auid=sgrubb uid=root gid=root euid=root suid=root 
fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root tty=pts0 comm=load_policy 
exe=/usr/sbin/load_policy subj=user_u:system_r:load_policy_t:s0 key=(null) 
type=MAC_POLICY_LOAD msg=audit(09/18/2007 06:26:21.236:216) : policy loaded 
auid=sgrubb 

Shouldn't these only come out when kill (or its friends) is in effect? The 
above syscall was a write. I don't think the current syscall is being taken 
into account in audit_match_signal.
