Subject: Adding multiple watch  rules on same path
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 10:32:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44EB239D.4040709@us.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi Steve,
As I was running some of our watch tests, I noticed the following:
You can add multiple watches on the same path if you specify different filter 
key values. That doesn't make sense to me, so I wanted to check if that is an 
intended behavior? and if so why?

Also, since you can have multiple watches on same path, it is no longer 
sufficient to do a "-W <path>" to remove the watch, now you have to specify 
which watch to remove by using the "-k key" as well.
Is this is how auditctl will remain to function, because we need to make changes 
to our functions accordingly

I am on the latest rawhide kernel(2.6.17-1.2573.fc6) and audit-1.2.5-8
