RHEL 4 configuration (more info)

Updated info on my question.

 From the original message:

 >>>> original question <<<<

I've got auditing running pretty well on Fedora and looks like SuSE as well, but 
RHEL 4 is giving me some problems.

I'm working off of RHEL 4 with the following updated packages:

   kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.EL.x86_64
   kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.EL.x86_64
   glibc-kernheaders-2.4_9.1.100.EL.x86_64
   audit-libs-1.0.15-3.EL4.x86_64
   audit-1.0.15-3.EL4.x86_64

All other packages are at the original RHEL4 distribution level.

It turns out I had the audit=1 flag set in /etc/grub.conf.  I thought I was 
supposed to include that, but if I removed that, I saw the login/logout 
events...so my original problem is resolved.

Now I'm back to my old problem of SSH doesn't show logouts.  I know that the 
version on RHEL 4 is too old to generate the logouts, but I don't see a new 
enough version of packages for openssh on redhat.com.

I see newer versions of openssh on openssh.org, but I tried to compile those, 
and use the sshd daemon in place of the one on the distro, and still no luck on ssh.

Are there "magic" flags I need to set if I compile openssh myself, or any 
special configuration options to have it work with auditd?

Thanks again!
