Fix Recommendation

At a minimum, the SLES for vRealize audit system should collect administrator actions for all users and root. Add the following to the "/etc/audit/audit.rules" file:

-w /etc/sudoers -p wa -k sudoers

OR

# /etc/dodscript.sh

Check Contents

To verify that auditing is configured for system administrator actions, run the following command:

# auditctl -l | grep "watch=/etc/sudoers"

The result should return a rule for sudoers, such as:

LIST_RULES: exit,always watch=/etc/sudoers perm=wa key=sudoers

If there is no output, this is a finding.
