Each system must generate a security alaram by which to alert the
administrator of a potential security or
suspicious activity Eg: High volumes of bad packet data or corrupted
data.
The alarm must be activated by the following events

1) Five consecutive unsucessful login attempts during a single session
2) Sucessful modification of critical system or application files
3) Sucessful and unsucessful attempts to gain permission or assume
identitiy
of another user
4) Upon sucessful login the system must display the date and time of
last
sucessful logins
5) Each system must maintain a list of security files which is
accesible by
the administrator of the following events

a) Sucessful and unsucessful events
b) Sucessful and unsucessful attempts to switch to another user's
account
