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::accountingto a compliant value
By default, the the SIMP framework only includes the systemd class indirectly via defined types, like systemd::unit_file and systemd::dropin_file―then those defined types will include systemd.
In Hiera terms, this would require something along the lines of:
simp::classes:
- systemd
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.
