Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.
Verify that an audit event is generated for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "chage" command. Check for the following system call being audited by performing the following command to check the file system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules": # sudo grep -w chage /etc/audit/audit.rules -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chage -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-chage If the command does not return a line, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful uses of the "chage" command. Add or update the following rules in the "/etc/audit/audit.rules" file: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chage -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-chage The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect. To restart the audit daemon, run the following command: # sudo systemctl restart auditd.service
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.
