It has never done that. auditctl -D gives the output of auditctl -s as a convenience. But auditctl -s has never reported how many rules are loaded. I don't think the kernel has a counter. It has a variable for if any rules are loaded, but not the quantity. > Yes, I know that I can also manually execute "auditctl -l | wc -l" and get > that information too, but I was wondering if this is planned or if I am > looking in the wrong place, or what to do. It has never done that and is not planned. -Steve -- Linux-audit mailing list Linux-audit@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
