Check: GEN002720

HP-UX 11.31 STIG: GEN002720 (in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)

Title

The audit system must be configured to audit failed attempts to access files and programs. (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 system audit configuration to determine if failed attempts to access files and programs are audited. # grep -i audevent_args1 /etc/rc.config.d/auditing | grep open If no results are returned, this is a finding.

Fix Text

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