Check Text (C-270817r1066940_chk)

Note: If this is an interconnected system, this is not applicable. Verify there is a script that offloads audit data and that script runs weekly with the following command: $ ls /etc/cron.weekly audit-offload Check if the script inside the file offloads audit logs to external media. If the script file does not exist or does not offload audit logs, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-74751r1066939_fix)

Create a script that offloads audit logs to external media and runs weekly. The script must be located in the "/etc/cron.weekly" directory.
