Discussion

If the group owner of /etc/rsyslog.conf is not root, bin, or sys, unauthorized users could be permitted to view, edit, or delete important system messages handled by the syslog facility.

Check Content

Check /etc/rsyslog.conf group ownership.

Procedure:
# ls -lL /etc/rsyslog*

If any rsyslog.conf file is not group owned by root, sys, bin, or system, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the group-owner of the /etc/rsyslog.conf file to root, bin, sys, or system.

Procedure:
# chgrp root <rsyslog configuration file>
