Title

The audit system must be configured to audit all administrative, privileged, and security actions. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

If the system is not configured to audit certain activities and write them to an audit log, it is more difficult to detect and track system compromises and damages incurred during a system compromise.

Check Content

Check the auditing configuration of the system. # grep -i audevent_args1 /etc/rc.config.d/auditing | grep admin # grep -i audevent_args1 /etc/rc.config.d/auditing | grep removable If no results are returned for either of these commands, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/auditing and add -e admin and -e removable to the end of the AUDEVENT_ARGS1 parameter.
