Hello,

$subject.

This behaviour makes sense (for example to force the confined program to

I propose this patch for trunk, 2.10 and 2.9

 In this mode security policy is not enforced but rather access violations
 are logged to the system log.
 
+Note that 'deny' rules will be enforced even in complain mode.
