RHEL5's last valid audit package would be 1.8. The 2.x branch removed functions from the ABI and changed the buffer size which means that you would have to recompile everything that has a dependency on audit-libs. If they are using any removed functions you would have to patch them to use something else. > If I upgrade the audit packages to latest version 2.6.X will there be any > issues? Probably. The audit 2.x release also has a soname number change for libaudit. Apps won't be able to find it during startup. > Linux Audit kernel available with kernel 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 and > 3.0.76-0.11 are compatible with user space audit 2.6.X? I have never tested that configuration. I will likely work except for the missing kernel support. The bigger issue is everything in user space that links against libaudit. > In your opinion what > is the suitable audit package for my environment to upgrade?

After that and you are in unknown territory. -Steve -- Linux-audit mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
