[sudo-users] sudo: unable to send audit message: Connection refused

[george siddiqui]

Hi all,

I have been trying to clear the following error:

"sudo: unable to send audit message: Connection refused"

which I believe is related to auditing not being switched on in the 
centos 5.3 kernel based on:

http://selfsolved.com/problems/audit_log_user_command-connectio
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=401201

I am building sudo-ldap using the mkpkg tool that comes with the source 
for 1.7.4.

I don't think I need this audit functionality so wanted to remove this 
feature from the sudo-ldap rpm.

I tried passing mkpg the configure options

eg.

./mkpkg --flavor ldap --platform rpm --with-linux-audit=no
./mkpkg --flavor ldap --platform rpm --without-linux-audit

but continue to get the error.

Is there a way I can set this to not be used with mkpg, or override this 
behavior to switch this off in a similar way the first post above does 
with source rpms?

Many thanks again,
George
