Assessment Procedure

Check Text

Check the /etc/rc.config.d/auditing file AUDOMON_ARGS settings: 

# cat /etc/rc.config.d/auditing | tr "\011" " " | tr -s " " | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' grep -v "#"

The above command should return a single line with the following information: 

AUDOMON_ARGS="-p 20, -t 1, -w 90"

If "p", "t", or "w" flags are not set to "20", "1", and "90", respectively, this is a finding.

Implementation Procedure

Fix Text

Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/auditing file and insert the following line:

AUDOMON_ARGS="-p 20, -t 1, -w 90"

Restart auditing:
# /sbin/init.d/auditing stop
# /sbin/init.d/auditing start
