Re: modprobe
- I guess that could be good if you're trying to load the module by hand and, instead of typing the command a few times before remembering that it was disabled, actually getting some feedback.
Re: auditd
- I'm remembering this from reading the man pages, nothing more. They may, or may not, be accurate.

The only difference I can see is that /bin/false gives me this message:

FATAL: Error running install command for Bluetooth
and an exit code of 1, while /bin/true is silent (neither log anything to
dmesg or syslog) and has an exit code of 0. It's possible that it matters
for some deeper reason.
As of which audit version? Unless I'm missing something (and based on the

logs, I don't think I am; the events I expect to see logged are being
logged, and with my specified key values), the same "exit,always" rules from
my RHEL5 audit.rules work on RHEL6.
[I do remember that at one point, one direction or the other didn't work on
RHEL5, but at the moment, both ways appear to work on both platforms.]
If that syntax is invalid for newer versions of audit than are included in
RHEL6, okay, but this is supposed to be a RHEL6 STIG, and a rebase of the
audit system seems unlikely (as audit versions tend to be linked to kernel
versions, and a rebase of the kernel seems mighty unlikely). If both
syntaxes work on RHEL6, I would like to see all audit checks allow both
(instead of just the benchmark content of some audit checks).
