Check Text ( C-38687r2_chk )
Check the permissions of the print service configuration files.

Procedure:
# ls -lL /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf /etc/printers.conf /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.conf

If the permissions on any file include a '+', the file has an extended ACL and this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-23917r2_fix)
Remove the extended ACLs from the files.
# chmod A- /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf /etc/printers.conf /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.conf
