Steve,
Here is the relevant discussion on disabling the tcp listener on Ubuntu.

I do not know what exactly caused change - but now I think it should be
enabled in distributions.
Please let me know.
Btw, I got auditd running (by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable) from source
now. Still audispd is not started now - what is the way / sequence to start
auditd and audispd - if you can point me to some reference or a startup
script will help.
Since you installed in a non-standard location, you probably need to adjust
paths in the config files.
What I would recommend is not to build and install by hand, but to use their
package manager to build a new package with listening enabled. The ./configure
script takes a --disable-listener parameter. So, its probably as simple as
deleting that in the source package and rebuilding.
That said, I have no idea how to build a package on Debian or Ubuntu.
