Audit Administrative actions and changes to configuration settings If events associated with non-local administrative access or diagnostic sessions are not logged, a major tool for assessing and investigating attacks would not be available. This requirement addresses auditing-related issues associated with maintenance tools used specifically for diagnostic and repair actions on organizational information systems. Non-local maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities conducted by individuals communicating through a network, either an external network (e.g., the Internet) or an internal network. Local maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities carried out by individuals physically present at the information system or information system component and not communicating across a network connection. This requirement applies to hardware/software diagnostic test equipment or tools. This requirement does not cover hardware/software components that may support information system maintenance, yet are a part of the system, for example, the software implementing 'ping', 'ls', 'ipconfig', or the hardware and software implementing the monitoring port of an Ethernet switch.


Parameter:

[exists/does_not_exist]


Technical Mechanism:

In order to view the currently configured flags for the audit daemon, run the following command: sudo grep ^flags /etc/security/audit_control Administrative actions and changes to configuration settings are logged by way of the 'ad' flag. If 'ad' is not listed in the result of the check, this is a finding.
