Collect Login and Logout Events Monitor login and logout events. The parameters below track changes to files associated with login/logout events. The file /var/log/faillog tracks failed events from login. The file /var/log/lastlog maintain records of the last time a user successfully logged in. The file /var/log/tallylog maintains records of failures via the pam_tally2 module

Monitoring login/logout events could provide a system administrator with information associated with brute force attacks against user logins. Fix: Add the following lines to the /etc/audit/audit.rules file. -w /var/log/faillog -p wa -k logins -w /var/log/lastlog -p wa -k logins -w /var/log/tallylog -p wa -k logins # Execute the following command to restart auditd # pkill -HUP -P 1 auditd
