The "/etc/audit/" directory contains files that ensure the proper auditing of command execution, privilege escalation, file manipulation, and more. Protection of this directory is critical for system security.

Configure RHEL 10 so that the "/etc/audit/" directory is group-owned by "root" with the following command:

$ sudo chgrp root /etc/audit/
