Check Text (C-215325r991560_chk)
Verify all system command files have no extended ACLs by running the following commands:
# aclget /etc
# aclget /bin
# aclget /usr/bin
# aclget /usr/lbin
# aclget /usr/ucb
# aclget /sbin
# aclget /usr/sbin
If any of the command files have extended permissions enabled, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-16521r294427_fix)
Remove the extended ACL(s) from the system command file(s) and set the extended permissions to disabled by running the following command:
# acledit [command-path ]/[ command-file]
