Hi Matt,
Looking at the TODO file in the test sub suite (audit-test, available at
the mentioned URL) & your mail, it seems that the audit-test sub suite
is not just a simple replacement of laus_test (available in the older
test suite, meant for RHEL 3). So, for having a complete compliance with
CAPP, do I need to make further changes or they are just enhancements
(to do away with manual testing)? 
As such, it compiled cleanly & a few test cases failed, I guess because
of not having the system configured in proper way.
