| Description |
|---|
| The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify that a separate file system/partition has been created for non-privileged local interactive user home directories. $ sudo grep /tmp /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/rhel-tmp /tmp xfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 If a separate entry for the file system/partition "/tmp" does not exist, this is a finding. |
