The 'auditd' service can be configured to send email to
a designated account in certain situations. Add or correct the following line
in '/etc/audit/auditd.conf' to ensure that administrators are notified
via email for those situations:
'action_mail_acct = root'
Parameter:
[root/admin]
Technical Mechanism:
Email sent to the root account is typically aliased to the
administrators of the system, who can take appropriate action.
