Information

When operating system accounts are disabled, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are used for identifying individual users or the operating system processes themselves. To detect and respond to events affecting user accessibility and system processing, operating systems must audit account disabling actions.

Solution

Open /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.STIG.rules with a text editor and add the following lines:

-w /usr/bin/passwd -p x -k passwd

At the command line, execute the following command:

# /sbin/augenrules --load
