Fix Recommendation

Run the following command:

echo '-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex -F auid=0' >> /etc/audit/audit.rules
echo '-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295' >> /etc/audit/audit.rules

Or run the following command to implement all logging requirements:

# /etc/dodscript.sh

Check Contents

Check if the system is configured to audit calls to the "adjtimex" system call by running the following command:

# grep -w "adjtimex" /etc/audit/audit.rules

If the system is configured to audit time changes, it will return at least two lines containing "-S adjtimex" that also contain "arch=b64".

If no line is returned, this is a finding.
