Check: GEN003660
HP-UX 11.31 STIG:
GEN003660
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The system must log authentication informational data. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Monitoring and recording successful and unsuccessful logins assists in tracking unauthorized access to the system.
Check Content
Check /etc/syslog.conf and verify the auth facility is logging both the notice and info (NOTE that auth.info includes auth.notice and the auth.debug includes both auth.info and auth.notice) level messages by: # cat /etc/syslog.conf | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | grep -v "^#" | egrep -i "auth.info|auth.debug|auth.\*|\*.info|\*.debug" If auth.* is not found, or auth.notice or auth.debug or *.info and *.debug are not found, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Edit /etc/syslog.conf and add local log destinations for auth.*, auth.debug, auth.info, *.debug or *.info. NOTE: In general and though not required, it is always advisable to explicitly declare auth.info or auth.debug entries rather than use the wildcard notation method.
