RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Steve Grubb 2016-12-13 03:22:23 UTC 
You are right. This is not functional. The --loginuid-immutable is only a RHEL7 feature. So, comment out/delete that line. I'll see about getting a 6.9 fix in place.
Comment 4 Steve Grubb 2016-12-22 17:45:35 UTC 
audit-2.4.5-6.el6 was built to address this issue.
Comment 6 Ondrej Moriš 2016-12-23 14:19:23 UTC 
Successfully verified. All provided rules files can be loaded correctly on all supported 64-bit architectures. All rules are loaded correctly.

See TJ#1645624 for more details. Also, please notice that none of the rules files cannot be loaded on i386 but that is expected because rules are intended for 64-bit architectures.
