Fix Recommendation

Configure OL 8 to monitor all remote access methods by installing rsyslog with the following command:

$ sudo yum install rsyslog

Add or update the following lines to the "/etc/rsyslog.conf" file:

auth.*;authpriv.*;daemon.* /var/log/secure

The "rsyslog" service must be restarted for the changes to take effect. To restart the "rsyslog" service, run the following command:

$ sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service

Check Contents

Verify that OL 8 monitors all remote access methods.

Check that remote access methods are being logged by running the following command:

$ sudo grep -E '(auth\.\*|authpriv\.\*|daemon\.\*)' /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf

/etc/rsyslog.conf:auth.*;authpriv.*;daemon.* /var/log/secure

If "auth.*", "authpriv.*", or "daemon.*" are not configured to be logged, this is a finding.
