Successful/unsuccessful uses of setfiles in TOSS must generate an audit record.
Description
Discussion Text
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.
Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter). The "setfiles" command is primarily used to initialize the security context fields (extended attributes) on one or more filesystems (or parts of them). Usually, it is initially run as part of the SELinux installation process (a step commonly known as labeling).
When a user logs on, the AUID is set to the UID of the account that is being authenticated. Daemons are not user sessions and have the loginuid set to "-1." The AUID representation is an unsigned 32-bit integer, which equals "4294967295." The audit system interprets "-1", "4294967295", and "unset" in the same way.
