Looking at Redhat's website, it seems that they have an audit-1.2.9-1.el5.x86_64.rpm available for download. It's currently listed as beta and it looks like they're rolling it out with EL5, but right now it is listed as a package for EL4. Is that a possibility?

That is the latest for RHEL4. There is a 1.0.15 in the pipeline that backports many features from 1.2.9.

There are differences in the RHEL4 kernel and the current 2.6.19 kernel regarding audit that causes them to be incompatible in several ways.

1.3.1 is commandline compatible with 1.0.14. However, you need to be using a
2.6.19 kernel for it.
