Information

OL 9 must generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect /var/log/faillock.

GROUP ID: V-271571
RULE ID: SV-271571r1092560

Without generating audit records specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172, SRG-OS-000470-GPOS-00214, SRG-OS-000473-GPOS-00218

Solution

Configure OL 9 to generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect /var/log/faillock.

Add or update the following file system rule to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules":

-w /var/log/faillock -p wa -k logins

The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Restart auditd:

$ sudo service auditd restart
