Install and Enable auditd Service
Install and turn on the auditd daemon to record system events.
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
The capturing of system events provides system administrators with information to allow them to determine if unauthorized access to their system is occurring.
Fix:
Install auditd:
# apt-get install auditd
If needed create proper start links for auditd in /etc/rc*.d by running the following command from each of the relevant directories:
# ln -s ../init.d/auditd S37auditd
Start links should be created for run levels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
