Description

Note: This issue is eventually destined for a module like pupmod-simp-simp; tracking here until the correct one is decided

From @nick-markowski:

RHEL 8 V-230531 states ctrl-alt-delete burst sequence must be disabled and the recommended simp action is to include systemd then set systemd::accounting to a compliant value

simp::classes:

systemd::manage_accounting: true
systemd::accounting: 
   blah: ...

Research direction

Start with the RHEL 8 V-230531 finding and the shown simp::classes, systemd::manage_accounting, and systemd::accounting Hiera settings. Determine whether the work belongs in pupmod-simp-simp or simp-core, then confirm that the base configuration addresses the finding or makes the required settings obvious.
