If this is a sysVinit system, then there are variables in /etc/sysconfig/auditd 
such as AUDITD_CLEAN_STOP that determine what the init script does.

If you have a systemd based init system, then by default it does not modify 
rules like the sysVinit one does. It does have a ExecStopPost= variable that 
can be modified if you wanted to clear rules on shutdown.
