SV-63819r1_rule Auditing must be implemented.

Vulnerability discussion

Without auditing, individual system accesses cannot be tracked and malicious activity cannot be detected and traced back to an individual account.

Check content

Determine if auditing is enabled. # ps -ef |grep auditd If the auditd process is not found, this is a finding.

Fix text

Start the auditd service and set it to start on boot. # service auditd start ; chkconfig auditd on

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.
