# systemctl stop auditd
Failed to stop auditd.service: Operation refused, unit auditd.service may be requested by
dependency only.
It can't be stopped manually once it is started. Look in the service file to see...
RefuseManualStop=yes
So, which of these services needs to be stoped? disabled? hacked? in order to stop
auditd.
Can it even be disabled without screwing up the system?
If you want to completely disable auditd just do what the link provided tells you....
stick audit=0 on the kernel command line options in grub.cfg, disable the auditd service
(or uninstall it).
Others have done it with no ill effects.
