If sudo is not used on AIX, this is Not Applicable. Run the following command to find "!authenticate" option in "/etc/sudoers" file: # grep "!authenticate" /etc/sudoers If there is a "!authenticate" option found in "/etc/sudoers" file, this is a finding. Run the following command to find "!authenticate" option in one of the sudo config files in "/etc/sudoers.d/" directory: # find /etc/sudoers.d -type f -exec grep -l "!authenticate" {} \; The above command displays all sudo config files that are in "/etc/sudoers.d/" directory and they contain the "!authenticate" option. If above command found a config file that is in "/etc/sudoers.d/" directory and that contains the "!authenticate" option, this is a finding.
