Hi all,
I recall seeing an rsyslog entry to prevent these messages from filling my messages logs, but it no longer appears to work with f24. Is there a more specific method to disable audit messages?

I'm not using selinux, and have enabled rsyslog. They're just not helpful to me.
Edit /etc/default/grub. Look for the line beginning GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Add "audit=0" to the end of that line. Run:
grub2-mkconfig --output /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Audit will be turned off when you reboot. To turn it off without rebooting, do:
auditctl -e 0
Thanks very much, very helpful. What is the reason this is enabled by default? Don't other people find it obnoxious and unhelpful?
How does this information help the average sysadmin?
