Description
The FTP Server can provide audit data in the form of SMF records. The SMF data produced by the FTP Server provides transaction information for both successful and unsuccessful FTP commands. Failure to collect and retain audit data may contribute to the loss of accountability and hamper security audit activities. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000032-GPOS-00013, SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172
