The STIG requires that all ``chown`` syscalls are audited, but this
change creates a significant increase in logging on most systems. This increase
can cause some systems to run out of disk space for logs.
.. warning::
This rule is disabled by default to avoid high CPU usage and disk space
exhaustion. Deployers should only enable this rule if they have tested it
thoroughly in a non-production environment with system health monitoring
enabled.
Deployers can opt in for this change by setting the following Ansible variable:
.. code-block:: yaml
security_rhel7_audit_chown: yes
This rule is compatible with x86, x86_64, and ppc64 architectures.
