The Audit Configuration profile is required.
This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing.
# zonename
If the command output is "global", this check applies.
Check the status of the audit system. It must be auditing.
# pfexec auditconfig -getcond
If this command does not report:
audit condition = auditing
this is a finding.
How these changes are found
Rules are matched across the two benchmark releases by their STIG V-number. A rule counts as updated when its rule id changed and its title, severity, discussion, fix text or OVAL check logic changed — the same comparison SCAP Compare makes.
Comparing other releases, or this one against an older release? Pick any two in SCAP Compare.
