Title
The system must use a remote syslog server (log host). (Cat II impact)
Discussion
A syslog server (log host) 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
Check the syslog configuration file for remote syslog servers. # grep '@' /etc/syslog.conf | grep -v '^#' If no line is returned, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Edit the syslog configuration file and add an appropriate remote syslog server.
