So, to turn on full path reporting I do this:

# echo "-w /etc/shadow -p w" >> /etc/audit/audit.rules
# service auditd restart

My question is: what is the effect that "-w /etc/shadow -p w" has on SELinux
with respect to reporting the full path of file names in AVCs?  In other
words, why does that work?
