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.

Solution
Configure RHEL 10 to generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/lastlog".
Add or update the following file system rule to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules":
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -F path=/var/log/lastlog -F perm=wa -F key=logins
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -F path=/var/log/lastlog -F perm=wa -F key=logins
Restart the audit daemon with the following command for the changes to take effect:
$ sudo service auditd restart
