Title

RHEL 8 must display the date and time of the last successful account logon upon logon. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

Providing users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred facilitates user recognition and reporting of unauthorized account use.

Check Content

Verify users are provided with feedback on when account accesses last occurred with the following command: $ sudo grep pam_lastlog /etc/pam.d/postlogin session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed If "pam_lastlog" is missing from "/etc/pam.d/postlogin" file, or the silent option is present, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the operating system to provide users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred by setting the required configuration options in "/etc/pam.d/postlogin". Add the following line to the top of "/etc/pam.d/postlogin": session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed
