To my knowlege, there are no issues. Its pretty much the same software on both 
systems.

Just the usual user name/group interpretation issue. But if you spot anything 
else, let me know. With the ausearch-test application, I have been working to 
make interpretation and searching universally correct. This is only achieved 
with the latest audit packages.

As an aside, I have found that we also need an audit validation suite. What 
this would do is have someone start a system, login, logout, log back in, shut 
down the system, reboot and run the test to see if all necessary events have 
been generated, no duplicates, no spurious events, and fields are correct.
