On RHEL 4 U5 x86_64, if you have the following rule: -a entry,always -S removexattr
you'd expect the result to be that the removexattr call is audited. This isn't quite the case. What this actually means is 'audit system call 197'. The effect of this is to audit 64 bit removexattr calls and 32 bit fstat64 calls. I can see why this is the case, however this is clearly both undesirable and far from intuitive. I'm not entirely sure what the solution should be, but a big warning in the man page might be a good start :) As a general rule, this highlights that it's always essential to additionally filter by architecture on x86_64.
