And automounts?  You don't need CAP_SYS_ADMIN to trigger one of those, but
they still generate events.  On the other hand, you need CSA to mount
something that has automounts in the first place, and if you're particularly
concerned about security, you probably don't want the processes you might be
suspicious of having access to things that contain automounts (typically
network filesystems).
