Discussion

Without proper system auditing, individual system accesses cannot be tracked, and malicious activity cannot be detected and traced back to an individual account.

Check

The Audit Configuration profile is required.

This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing.

# zonename

If the command output is "global", this check applies.

Check the status of the audit system. It must be auditing.

# pfexec auditconfig -getcond

If this command does not report:

audit condition = auditing

this is a finding.

Fix

This action applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing.

# zonename

If auditing has been disabled, it must be enabled with the following command:

# pfexec audit -s
