You probably want to check out our audit-test package. We recently
got
it added to sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/audit-test
HP hasn't had much time to work on it as we're getting ready for the
next evaluation, but it will be a better starting point. Maybe if we
get some more people using it (and sending patches) we'll be able to
justify spending more time on it.

Hi Matt,
Looking at the TODO file in the test sub suite (audit-test, available at
the mentioned URL) & your mail, it seems that the audit-test sub suite
is not just a simple replacement of laus_test (available in the older
test suite, meant for RHEL 3). So, for having a complete compliance with
CAPP, do I need to make further changes or they are just enhancements
(to do away with manual testing)?
As such, it compiled cleanly & a few test cases failed, I guess because
of not having the system configured in proper way.

Vikas
