This rule translates to: auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/testdir/checkdir -F perm=rwxa -k missingfiles This watches any *files* in the /testdir/checkdir directory and it's subdirectories. To check the directory itself, you need to use the "path" field to point at the directory and not the files it contains.
