Check Text ( C-37872r1_chk )
Determine the location of the audit data path. #more /etc/security/audit/config Make note of the binfile and trail location. (The best practice is to have the audit data and trails sent to /audit.) # cd < audit path > #df -k . If the system audit data path is not on a separate file system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-33125r1_fix)
Migrate the system audit data path onto a separate file system. Update the /etc/security/audit/config file as necessary to reflect the location of the audit data.
