GEN002800 - The audit system must be configured to audit login, logout, and session initiation - flags +lo and -lo

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_control and add lo to the flags list and naflags list.
Load the new audit configuration.
# auditconfig -conf
