auditctl is still reporting the "error sending rule" problem. Here are
my auditctl and kernel versions:

This is not the error sending rule problem. This looks like a permission problem. What selinux policy and role are you doing this from? Are there any relevant AVCs in the audit logs from this time?

This is a transcript from Permissive mode, with role being staff_r. I do not see the "Error sending rule list request (Operation not permitted)" when SELinux is disabled (selinux=0) or when as auditadm_r at SystemHigh.

# auditctl -l
Error sending rule list request (Operation not permitted)

Why does auditctl report a denial for the 1st attempt, and not for later attempts?

Thanks,
