Yes, I already have it like this: common cap2 { <------>mac_override<--># unused by SELinux <------>mac_admin <------>syslog <------>wake_alarm <------>block_suspend <------>audit_read <------>perfmon } dmesg stopped reporting perfmon as not defined but audit.log still doesn't report CAP_PERFMON denials. BTW, audit even doesn't report CAP_SYS_ADMIN denials, however perfmon_capable() does check for it. ~Alexey > >
