Summary: auditd startup broken when coreutils is installed

Description Jonathan Bittner 2023-03-29 13:56:33 UTC 
In the launch script /etc/init.d/S02auditd (buildroot/package/audit/S02auditd), line 23: 		mkdir -p /var/log/audit -Z `selabel_lookup -b file -k /var/log/audit | cut -d ' ' -f 3`

does not work when coreutils mkdir replaces the one supplied by busybox.  The -Z context needs to be placed before the directory name with coreutils and BusyBox will accept it both ways.

With coreutils, a folder is created with the name of the context in the current directory, auditd appears to start, appears in ps, but does no SELinux logging. Doing a restart will show an OK on stopping and a FAIL on starting.  Starting again shows an OK but no logging occurs.
