Verify the operating system generates audit records when successful account access events occur. Check the file system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules" with the following commands: # grep -i /var/log/lastlog /etc/audit/audit.rules -w /var/log/lastlog -p wa -k logins If the command does not return any output, this is a finding.
Configure the operating system to generate audit records when successful account access events occur. Add or update the following rule in "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules": -w /var/log/lastlog -p wa -k logins The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
