I am attempting to secure a RHEL 5 64bit system. I am modifying the

Some existing rules have both OS versions being audited. Should I leave
both available even though my system is 64b or should I only use the 64b
options?
All 64 bit x86_64 systems have both a 64 and 32 bit interface. So, you want both. 32
bit system don't and you would only want 32 bit values for it.
