Check content

The Audit Configuration profile is required. This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. Check that the audit flag for process start is enabled. # pfexec auditconfig -getflags | grep active |sed s/'active user default audit flags ='// | grep ps # pfexec auditconfig -getnaflags | grep active |sed s/'active user default audit flags ='// | grep ps If audit flags are not displayed, this is a finding. Determine if auditing policy is set to collect command line arguments. # pfexec auditconfig -getpolicy | grep active | grep argv If the active audit policies line does not appear, this is a finding.

Fix text

The Audit Configuration profile is required. All audit flags must be enabled in a single command. This action applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this action applies. # pfexec auditconfig -setflags cusa,ps,fd,-fa,fm # pfexec auditconfig -setnaflags cusa,ps,fd,-fa,fm Enable the audit policy to collect command line arguments. # pfexec auditconfig -setpolicy +argv These changes will not affect users that are currently logged in.

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.
