Hello Joy, or anyone else affected, Accepted util-linux into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util- linux/2.27.1-6ubuntu3.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in util-linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in util-linux source package in Zesty: Fix Committed Status in util-linux source package in Artful: Fix Committed Status in util-linux package in Debian: New Bug description: [IMPACT] Enable auditing in util-linux. The config option, --with-audit enables auditing. Only the hwclock and the login commands within util-linux package have source code for auditing. But that source code is disabled by default and requires the config option, --with-audit to enable it. The login command is not built nor shipped in util-linux. Ubuntu uses the login command from shadow instead. Thus, only hwclock command would be affected by this change. The change would enable the hwclock command to generate an audit log message to /var/log/audit/audit.log whenever it changes the hardware clock. This message will only get logged if auditd daemon is running. Otherwise, nothing gets logged. That the hwclock generates an audit message when hardware clock is changed is a requirement for Common Criteria EAL2 certification for Xenial. [TEST] This has been tested on both P8 and amd64 architectures. With the patch all the Common Criteria testcases pass for hwclock. Before this patch, the functional part of the testcase passed, but the check for the triggered audit records would fail. Attached the Common Criteria testcase below. Also, the util-linux package has testcases that get run during the build. All of these pass. Pointer to build log below. [REGRESSION POTENTIAL] The regression potential for this should be small. This change does not take away from any current functionality. It just adds the ability to generate an audit entry when system hardware clock is altered.
