Check Contents

Verify the operating system must generate audit records for all account modification events.

Check the auditing rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules" with the following command:
# grep -E "/etc/passwd|/etc/gshadow|/etc/shadow|/etc/security/opasswd|/etc/group|/etc/sudoers|/etc/sudoers.d/" /etc/audit/audit.rules

-w /etc/passwd -p wa -k identity
-w /etc/gshadow -p wa -k identity
-w /etc/shadow -p wa -k identity
-w /etc/security/opasswd -p wa -k identity
-w /etc/group -p wa -k identity
-w /etc/sudoers -p wa -k identity
-w /etc/sudoers.d/ -p wa -k identity

If the command does not return all the lines above, or one or more of the lines are commented out, this is a finding.
