The Photon operating system auditd service must generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events.

| Description |
|---|
| Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter). |

| At the command line, execute the following command: # auditctl -l | grep -E /etc/security/opasswd If any of these are not listed with a permissions filter of at least "w", this is a finding. Note: This check depends on the auditd service to be in a running state for accurate results. Enabling the auditd service is done as part of a separate control. |
