Problem running auditd on Raspberry Pi (fedora-server-24)

Hi all,


I have fedora-server-24 installed on my raspberry-pi-3, following the guide
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi.

Once I get my raspberry pi boot up, there were error mentioning that "audit
support not in kernel", which I believed were then resolved after I rebuild
my kernel.

However, I got stuck when I tried to add rule using `auditctl` command as
below:
`# auditctl -w /etc/passwd -p wa -k passwd_changes`
Error sending add rule data request (Invalid argument)

I tried to search for solution but it lead me to a bug that were already
been solved like years ago. Can anyone tell me if I am in the right way of
getting auditd works on raspberry pi? Were the problem I've faced were
already a known issue?

Below are my system information and some logs/details when I tried to
diagnosis the problem and thanks a lot for your help in advance!
