I am a little confused.
After rebooting again, I have about 300 messages of the same kind, 
similar to the first one:

Sep 20 16:16:11 ethan kernel: audit(1158761731.078:308): avc:  denied  { 
search } for  pid=1359 comm="pam_console_app" name="var" dev=dm-0 
ino=130817 scontext=system_u:system_r:pam_console_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir

but...

ausearch -a 308

returns
<no matches>

The same for all the others...

???

bye
