I am running the standard auditd delivered with rhel4.  What is the
latest set of rpm's that I should have to see the login functionality?
I am on a non-internet-connected network that I can not use up2date for
packages.

This would not audit anything for 3 reasons. "possible" tells it to
collect the information in case its needed later. The -F options form an
"and" 
condition. Both cannot be true at the same time. And "-w" is watches
while "-a" is syscall auditing...you cannot mix the two.

You might try:

-w /bin/login -p x

But that would get you the fact that the file was executed but probably
not the results of execution. (It probably should).

We've patched the source code to entry points to send specific messages
saying the intent of the pam session.
