If the 'auditd' daemon is configured to use the 'augenrules' program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix '.rules' in the directory '/etc/audit/rules.d': '-w /etc/localtime -p wa -k audit_time_rules' If the 'auditd' daemon is configured to use the 'auditctl' utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to '/etc/audit/audit.rules' file: '-w /etc/localtime -p wa -k audit_time_rules' The -k option allows for the specification of a key in string form that can be used for better reporting capability through ausearch and aureport and should always be used.


Parameter:

[yes/no]


Technical Mechanism:

Arbitrary changes to the system time can be used to obfuscate nefarious activities in log files, as well as to confuse network services that are highly dependent upon an accurate system time (such as sshd). All changes to the system time should be audited.
