The rsyslog service can be enabled with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl enable rsyslog.service |
The rsyslog service must be running in order to provide
logging services, which are essential to system administration. |

NT28(R5) | Ensure Users Re-Authenticate for Privilege Escalation - sudo !authenticate | The sudo !authenticate option, when specified, allows a user to execute commands using
sudo without having to authenticate. This should be disabled by making sure that the
!authenticate option does not exist in /etc/sudoers configuration file or
any sudo configuration snippets in /etc/sudoers.d/ . |
Without re-authentication, users may access resources or perform tasks for which they
do not have authorization.
When operating systems provide the capability to escalate a functional capability, it is critical that the user re-authenticate. |
