| Description |
|---|
| Unowned files and directories may be unintentionally inherited if a user is assigned the same User Identifier "UID" as the UID of the un-owned files. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify all local files and directories on TOSS 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 an assigned owner, this is a finding. Note: Command may produce error messages from the /proc and /sys directories. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Either remove all files and directories from the system that do not have a valid user, or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on TOSS with the "chown" command: $ sudo chown <user> <file> |
