I'm using Auditd to record any changes to files. Here is rule:
# auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,always dir=/var/local/ (0x1e) perm=w key=state-files
but if I run:
# ausearch -i -k state-files
command I got:
...
type=PATH msg=audit(04/27/16 12:51:42.793:8700) : item=0 name=/var/local/some/path/file inode=6100653 dev=08:01 mode=file,644 ouid=someuser ogid=admin rdev=00:00

Problem is that ausearch reports opening of files, even if perm is set to writes only. I want to report only changes to files, not reads.
