Title:
  [Ubuntu 15.04] Ubuntu should audit account modification events

Status in audit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu should log user modification events to the system audit trail
  (/var/log/audit/audit.log) but does not.

  Steps to Verify:

  - Install Ubuntu 14.04 on an x86_64 VM
  - apt install auditd
  - useradd testuser
  - ausearch -i

  Expected Results:

  An audit record should be appended to the audit trail that indicates
  testuser was added.

  Actual Results:

  An appropriate audit event was not appended to the audit trail.  A
  record is logged in /var/log/auth.log.

  Discussion:

  Auditable system events should be logged in the standard audit trail
  via the Linux audit subsystem. Doing so provides a central location
  where sysadmins can monitor security events. The Linux audit subsystem
  can be used to meet Common Criteria and compliance hardening standards
  requirements. OSPP v2.0
  [https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/files/ppfiles/pp0067b_pdf.pdf]
  should provide a good reference for commonly logged audit events and
  other audit requirements.
