1.442 RHEL-09-654260

Information

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

GROUP ID: V-258226
RULE ID: SV-258226r958846

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 RHEL 9 to generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/tallylog".

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

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

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