Fix Recommendation

Configure the SUSE operating system to generate an audit record for any all modifications to the "lastlog" file occur.

Add or update the following rule to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules":

-w /var/log/lastlog -p wa -k logins

To reload the rules file, restart the audit daemon

> sudo systemctl restart auditd.service

or issue the following command:

> sudo augenrules --load

Check Contents

Verify the SUSE operating system generates an audit record when all modifications to the "lastlog" file occur.

Check that the file is being audited by performing the following command:

> sudo auditctl -l | grep -w '/var/log/lastlog'

-w /var/log/lastlog -p wa -k logins

If the command does not return a line, this is a finding.

Note:
The "-k" allows for specifying an arbitrary identifier. The string following "-k" does not need to match the example output above.
