Check Text ( C-75337r1_chk )
Verify the audit system authenticates off-loading audit records to a different system.

Check that the off-loading of audit records to a different system is authenticated with the following command:

# sudo grep enable /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf

enable_krb5 = yes

If “enable_krb5” option is not set to "yes" or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
