There should be no need to mess around with this as the cced.init
restart takes care of that. And it looks like you typed the file names
incorrectly. ;-)

The correct command for copying it would have been this:

cp /etc/security/pam_abl.conf.rpmnew /etc/security/pam_abl.conf

But like said: That is actually handled by a constructor that runs
during cced.init restart. Did you restart CCEd before trying this?

Very well.
