I do not really want to look at the kernel module because I know it will be horrible. And yes "The ``Default Linux Capabilities'' must be either disabled or set to 'M' in your kernel configuration in ``Security options'' section. Capability module cannot be loaded at the same time as rlocate. Disable also NSA SELinux." You lose any kind of capability based security using this. So: No way. They should be using the audit framework which has been introduced in the last months.
