Fix Recommendation

For any log folder that has an incorrect group, run the following command:

/usr/bin/sudo chgrp wheel [audit log folder]

Check Contents

To check the group ownership of the audit log folder, run the following command:

/usr/bin/sudo ls -lde $(/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/grep '^dir' /etc/security/audit_control | awk -F: '{print $2}')

The results should show the group (fourth column) to be "wheel".

If they do not, this is a finding.
