Hi,

I've just released a new version of the audit daemon. It can be downloaded 
from http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit  It will also be in rawhide  
soon. The Changelog is:

- Fix potential buffer overflow in print clone flags of auparse
- Add new App Armor types (John Johansen)
- Adjust Menu Location for system-config-audit (Miloslav Trmac)
- Fix python traceback parsing watches without perm statement (Miloslav Trmac)
- Added databuf_strcat function to auparse (John Dennis)
- Update auditctl to handle legacy kernels when putting a watch on a dir
- Fix invalid free and memory leak on reload in auditd (Miloslav Trmac)
- Fix clone flags in auparse (John Ramsdell)
- Add interpretation for F_SETFL of fcntl (John Ramsdell)
- Fix acct interpretation in auparse
- Makefile cleanups (John Ramsdell)

This is nothing but a bugfix release. Anyone using 1.5.5 is advised to 
upgrade.

Please note that the audit event dispatcher will be changing again in the next 
release. This is the current area of work and this one is considered 
temporary. This release is primarily to get some other needed fixes out for 
people to use. I should have a new release soon.

Please let me know if there are any problems with this release.

-Steve
