Fix Recommendation

Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful modifications to the "faillog" file.

Add or update the following rules in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/stig.rules" file:

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

To reload the rules file, issue the following command:

$ sudo augenrules --load

Check Contents

Verify the Ubuntu operating system generates an audit record upon successful/unsuccessful modifications to the "faillog" file.

Check the currently configured audit rules with the following command:

$ sudo auditctl -l | grep faillog

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

If the command does not return a line that matches the example or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

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