Title

The audit system must be configured to audit account creation. (Cat III 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 If no results are returned, the system is not configured to audit administrative actions, this is a finding.

Fix Text

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