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.

Fix Text (F-85627r1166434_fix)

Configure RHEL 10 to generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/faillock". Add or update the following file system rule to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules": -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 Restart the audit daemon with the following command for the changes to take effect: $ sudo service auditd restart
