What kernel version? What version of grsecurity? Can you paste the logs? Are you using the RBAC system?

kernel 2.4.29
grsec 2.0.2
RBAC is on
and the message is:
Jan 31 23:44:21 kernel: grsec: From 81.168.222.85: (default:D:/) successful link of /var/qmail/queue/intd/400943 to todo/400943 by /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue[qmail-queue:31777] uid/euid:549/105 gid/egid:504/504, parent /usr/bin/perl5.00503[perl5.00503:17929] uid/euid:549/549 gid/egid:504/504

there's a lot of it, and previous versions of grsec didn't emit this

Sorry, I was wrong, I'm using grsecurity 2.1.1 for 2.4.29 - I was too lazy to check it

Then you must have "L" in addition to "l" on the object in question. The link wouldn't have been possible if you didn't modify your policy file. "L" causes the message you're seeing, since it's an auditing flag.
