audit disable not working?

Hello,

We've turned off the audit service and added "alias char-major-10-209
off" to /etc/modules.conf, but the audit kernel module is still loading
and we end up with tons of issues.  For example, from /var/log/cron:

Mar 30 08:01:00 surfu CROND[32352]: (root) CMD (run-
parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Mar 30 08:01:00 surfu CROND[32352]: LAuS error - do_command.c:226 -
laus_attach: (19) laus_attach: No such device
Mar 30 08:10:00 surfu CROND[32641]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1)
Mar 30 08:10:00 surfu CROND[32641]: LAuS error - do_command.c:226 -
laus_attach: (19) laus_attach: No such device

[root@surfu httpd]# lsmod | grep audi
audit                  90712   2  (autoclean)
[root@surfu httpd]# chkconfig --list audit
audit           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
[root@surfu httpd]# service audit status
auditd is stopped

What else needs to be done to completely get rid of laus issues?  Or
should the service be re-enabled and audit.conf be used to configure it
properly?  We've had audit fill up a 4GB /var filesystem in the past.
We've also seen it adversely affect local disk IO during compiles.  Has
anyone else run into issues and successfully disabled it?
