cis-audit level2_server fails on rule_CIS-5.3.2 but passes all manual checks.
===================
Title Ensure lockout for failed password attempts is configured
Rule xccdf_com.ubuntu.focal.cis_rule_CIS-5.3.2
Result fail
===================
5.4.2 Ensure lockout for failed password attempts is configured
(xccdf_com.ubuntu.focal.cis_rule_CIS-5.3.2)
Please note that with CIS_Ubuntu_Linux_20.04_LTS_Benchmark_v1.1.0 by CIS
the numbering is no longer aligned to the xccdf file with
xccdf_com.ubuntu.focal.cis_rule_CIS-5.3.2.
===================
Procedure:
Verify password lockouts are configured. These settings are commonly configured
with the pam_tally2.so modules found in /etc/pam.d/common-auth:
# grep "pam_tally2" /etc/pam.d/common-auth
Expected result:
auth required pam_tally2.so onerr=fail audit silent deny=5 unlock_time=900
Actual result:
auth required pam_tally2.so onerr=fail audit silent deny=5 unlock_time=900
===================
NEXT
Verify the pam_deny.so module and pam_tally2.so modules are included in
/etc/pam.d/common-account:
# grep -E "pam_(tally2|deny)\.so" /etc/pam.d/common-account
Expected result:
account requisite pam_deny.so
account required pam_tally2.so 0
Actual result:
account requisite pam_deny.so
account required pam_tally2.so
===================
No errors or events within the logs.
