UBTU-18-010201 - The Ubuntu operating system must generate audit records for the use and modification of the tallylog file.
Information
Without generating audit records that are 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.Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).
Satisfies: SRG-OS-000064-GPOS-00033, SRG-OS-000470-GPOS-00214, SRG-OS-000473-GPOS-00218
Solution
Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful modifications to the "tallylog" file occur.Add or update the following rules in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/stig.rules" file:
-w /var/log/tallylog -p wa -k logins
Note:
The "root" account must be used to view/edit any files in the /etc/audit/rules.d/ directory.
In order to reload the rules file, issue the following command:
# sudo augenrules --load
