Fix Recommendation

Change the permissions of the /etc/audit/audit.rules.STIG, the /etc/audit/audit.rules.ORIG, and the /etc/audit/audit.rules files (if not a symblic link):

# chmod 640 /etc/audit/audit.rules.STIG
# chmod 640 /etc/audit/audit.rules.ORIG
# if [ -f /etc/audit/audit.rules ]; then chmod 640 /etc/audit/audit.rules; fi

Or run the following command to implement all logging requirements:

# /etc/dodscript.sh

Check Contents

Check the permissions of the rules files in /etc/audit:

# ls -l /etc/audit/

NOTE: If /etc/audit/audit.rules is a symblic link to /etc/audit/audit.rules.STIG, then the check is only applicable to /etc/audit/audit.rules.STIG.

If the permissions of the file is not set to "640", this is a finding.
