Discussion

The "rsyslogd" is a system utility providing support for message logging. Support for both internet and Unix domain sockets enables this utility to support local and remote logging. Couple this utility with "gnutls" (which is a secure communications library implementing the Secure Sockets Layer [SSL], Transport Layer Security [TLS], and Datagram TLS [DTLS] protocols), to create a method to securely encrypt and off-load auditing. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224, SRG-OS-000051-GPOS-00024

Check Content

Verify RHEL 10 has the "rsyslogd" package installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf list --installed rsyslog
Installed Packages
rsyslog.x86_64                                        8.2412.0-1.el10                                         @AppStream

If the "rsyslogd" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure RHEL 10 to have the "rsyslogd" package installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf -y install rsyslogd
