Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful uses of the "passwd" command.
Add or update the following rule in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/stig.rules" file:
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/passwd -F perm=x -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-passwd
To reload the rules file, issue the following command:
$ sudo augenrules --load
Verify that an audit event is generated for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "passwd" command.
Check the currently configured audit rules with the following command:
$ sudo auditctl -l | grep -w passwd
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/passwd -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k privileged-passwd
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.
