Fix Recommendation

Configure Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to monitor all remote access methods by adding the following lines to the "/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf" file:

auth.*,authpriv.* /var/log/secure
daemon.* /var/log/messages

For the changes to take effect, restart the "rsyslog" service with the following command:

$ sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service

Check Contents

Verify that Ubuntu 24.04 LTS monitors all remote access methods with the following command:

$ grep -E -r '^(auth,authpriv\.\*|daemon\.\*)' /etc/rsyslog.*
/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf:auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log

If "auth.*", "authpriv.*", or "daemon.*" are not configured to be logged in at least one of the config files, this is a finding.
