Hi,
Just a quick update on this in case any one was curious...turns out that the
audit system was not in his kernel config. Its working now.

Greetings;
FC6 system, uptodate, kernel 2.6.24-rc3, but this has existed since I
re-enabled selinux in permissive mode just to see what complained.
The manpage says to use the -f option for foreground troubleshooting, so
here goes:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.24-rc3]# man auditd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.24-rc3]# which auditd
/sbin/auditd

Connection refused sounds as if something else isn't running that should
be, but no direct clue, so what else needs to run too, before auditd?
More of a question for linux-audit (cc'd). Offhand, I'd guess that the
ECONNREFUSED is coming from the netlink code, but I don't know why.
Running it under strace might be illuminating.
