Title
RHEL 10 must generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/faillock".
Control
Verify RHEL 10 generates audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/faillock" with the following command: $ sudo auditctl -l | grep /var/log/faillock -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -F path=/var/log/faillock -F perm=wa -F key=identity -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -F path=/var/log/faillock -F perm=wa -F key=identity If the command does not return a line, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
Discussion
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.
