| Description |
|---|
| Unowned files and directories may be unintentionally inherited if a user is assigned the same User Identifier (UID) as the UID of the unowned files. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify that all SLEM 5 files and directories on the system have a valid owner with the following command: Note: The value after -fstype must be replaced with the filesystem type. XFS is used as an example. > sudo find / -fstype xfs -nouser If any files on the system do not have a valid owner, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Either remove all files and directories from SLEM 5 that do not have a valid user or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on the system with the "chown" command: > sudo chown <user > <file> |
