That would perhaps change a bunch of things in auditd file permissions.

Have you checked to see if these things still work:

* service auditd rotate, and do you get a DAEMON_ROTATE record filled in?

* service auditd reload, and do you get a DAEMON_RECONFIG record filled in?

* service auditd stop, and do you get a DAEMON_END record filled in?

* If you increase the priority in auditd.conf and run service auditd reload, 
does it work?

*Does space_left_action still work for email, single, and halt options?

* Can you still change tcp_listen_port to another privileged port and service 
auditd reload?

* What about the kerberos options?

Just curious if these scenarios were checked. :)
