Vulnerability discussion

The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.

Check content

Determine the location of the audit data path. #more /etc/security/audit/config Make note of the binfile and trail location. (The best practice is to have the audit data and trails sent to /audit.) # cd < audit path > #df -k . If the system audit data path is not on a separate file system, this is a finding.

Fix text

Migrate the system audit data path onto a separate file system. Update the /etc/security/audit/config file as necessary to reflect the location of the audit data.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
