Greetings:

i have an x86_64 Centos5.3 box and i'm trying to run auditd. it fails on 
startup and this is the O/P at the end:

        config_manager init complete
        Error setting audit daemon pid (Connection refused)
        type=DAEMON_ABORT msg=audit(1260554376.697:5674): auditd error halt, 
auid=4294967295 pid=32702 res=failed
        Unable to set audit pid, exiting
        The audit daemon is exiting.
        Error setting audit daemon pid (Connection refused)

the only thing i've learned from asking google is that it's a potential problem 
with the interaction between selinux & auditd, but i haven't found a solution.

two questions:

1. anyone know what the problem is?  (that or my next step in diagnosing it)
Are you running selinux in enforcing or permissive mode? sestatus to check - suggest you post
2. if i can't solve it, is there an alternative method for adding watchpoints to directories such that i can be notified of WRITE events for files in that directory (and preferably for all of it's subdirectories)?
Consider running aide and ossec - these can notify you of changes to critical files and folders.
My kernel version is 2.6.18 (full info below). The audit version is audit.x86_64 0:1.7.13-2.el5
thanks
