| Description |
|---|
| Since the user is accountable for files stored in the user's home directory, the user must be the owner of the directory. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| The root role is required. Check that home directories are owned by the correct user. # export IFS=":"; logins -uxo | while read user uid group gid gecos home rest; do result=$(find ${home} -type d -prune \! -user $user -print 2>/dev/null); if [ ! -z "${result}" ]; then echo "User: ${user}\tOwner: $(ls -ld $home | awk '{ print $3 }')"; fi; done If any output is produced, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| The root role is required. Correct the owner of any directory that does not match the password file entry for that user. # chown [user] [home directory] |
