Check: GEN005450
HP-UX 11.31 STIG:
GEN005450
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The system must use a remote syslog server (loghost). (Cat II impact)
Discussion
A syslog server (loghost) receives syslog messages from one or more systems. This data can be used as an authoritative log source in the event a system is compromised and its local logs are suspect.
Check Content
A typical entry listing the loghost server should look similar to the following: *.* @example.com Check the syslog configuration file for remote syslog servers. # cat /etc/syslog.conf | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | grep -v '^#' | grep "\@" If no line information is returned, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Edit the syslog configuration file and add an appropriate remote syslog server.
