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:

- Apply hidden attribute cleanup patch (Miloslav Trmac)
- Apply auparse expression interface patch (Miloslav Trmac)
- Fix potential memleak in audit event dispatcher
- Change default audispd queue depth to 80
- Update system-config-audit to version 0.4.6 (Miloslav Trmac)
- audisp-prelude alerts now controlled by config file
- Updated syscall table for 2.6.25 kernel
- Apply patch correcting acct field being misencoded (Miloslav Trmac)
- Added watched account login detection for prelude plugin

This release adds new syscalls from the 2.6.25 kernel. it also improves the 
audisp-prelude plugin by giving a configuration file where individual alerts 
can be enable disabled as well as a custom profile name set for prelude. The 
plugin was also improved by adding the capability to watch for login events 
of admin selected accounts and send an alert. Currently this only works on 
successful logins, but will be updated to include some failed attempts, too.

Please let me know if you run across any problems with this release.

-Steve
