AlmaLinux OS 9 must generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect the files within /etc/sudoers.d/

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Audit records provide a means to investigate events related to a security incident. Insufficient audit coverage will make identifying those responsible challenging or impossible. This auditd policy will watch for and alert the system administrators regarding any modifications to the files within "/etc/sudoers.d/" such as adding privileged users, groups, or commands.
