Information

RHEL 10 must generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/faillock".

GROUP ID: V-281161
RULE ID: SV-281161r1166435

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.
