32.4 Monitoring Security
Configuration Files and
Databases
To make sure that your system is not made to do undesired things, track any attempts
to change the cron and at configurations or the lists of scheduled jobs. Tracking any
write access to the user, group, password and login databases and logs helps you iden-
tify any attempts to manipulate your system's user database.
Tracking changes to your system configuration (kernel, services, time, etc.) helps you
spot any attempts of others to manipulate essential functionality of your system. Changes
to the PAM configuration should also be monitored in a secure environment, because
changes in the authentication stack should not be made by anyone other than the admin-
istrator and it should be logged which applications are using PAM and how it is used.
