+        Note that these rules can be configured in a
+        number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the audit rule checks a
+        system call independently of other system calls. Grouping system calls related
+        to the same event is more efficient. See the following example:
+        <pre>-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chmod,fchmod,fchmodat,setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change</pre>
