Check Text ( C-36426r1_chk )
Check the system audit configuration to determine if failed attempts to access files and programs are audited. # grep -i audevent_args1 /etc/rc.config.d/auditing | grep open If no results are returned, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-31765r1_fix)
Edit /etc/rc.config.d/auditing and add -e open to the end of the AUDEVENT_ARGS1 parameter.
