1. Release Notes Updates
This section contains information about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 that did not make it into the
Release Notes included in the distribution.
1.1. Feature Updates
audit Update
The audit packages contain user-space utilities for storing and searching the audit records
generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel.
These updated packages upgrade the auditd daemon and its utilities to the newer upstream
version 1.7.7, which provides the following enhancements over the previous version:
• the auditctl program, which is used to control the behavior of the audit subsystem, now supports
multiple keys in the audit rules.
• a new utility, ausyscall, which is used to cross-reference syscall name and number information,
is now provided in these updated packages.
• the aureport program has been enhanced to provide reports about keys it sees in audit events.
• event log parsing for the ausearch and aureport programs has been improved.
