</I>
I looked into this some more, the way it &quot;normally&quot; works is glibc installs
the directory as 755, but if you install the audit package it changes it to
750.  I guess this capability is now broken or, ahem, not supported, in rpm.

The impact that the permissions of this directory has, is it affects whether
or not regular users are able to use the sotruss command.  Perhaps it would
be better to handle that via msec.
