Yes.

Yes, there is that and the fact that directory auditing is not recursive and 
you cannot write fancy rules that do file system watching without naming the 
syscall. It may be possible to make some adjustments to the RHEL5 rules, but I 
don't know if you would wind up with lots of unnecessary data as a result of 
RHEL4's audit capabilities.
