Check Text ( C-53957r1_chk )
To check the permissions of the audit log files, run the following command: stat -f "%A:%N" `grep "^dir" /etc/security/audit_control | awk -F: '{print $2}'` The results should show the permissions (first column) to be "700" or less permissive. If not, this is a finding.
