GEN002800 - System must be configured to audit login, logout, and session initiation - '/etc/security/audit/events USER_Login exists'

Information

If the system is not configured to audit certain activities and write them to an audit log, it is more difficult to detect and track system compromises and damages incurred during a system compromise.

Solution

Edit /etc/security/audit/events and add the USER_Login, USER_Logout, INIT_Start, INIT_End, and USER_SU events to the list of audited events.
Edit /etc/security/audit/config and add the USER_Login, USER_Logout, INIT_Start, INIT_End, and USER_SU audit events to an audit class in the classes: stanza.
Edit the /etc/security/audit/config and assign the audit classes with the USER_Login, USER_Logout, INIT_Start, INIT_End, and USER_SU events to the all users listed in the users: stanza.
