Check Text (C-215420r991589_chk)
Determine if any file on the system does not have a valid group owner using command:
# find / -nogroup -print
If any such files are found, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-16616r294712_fix)
Change the group owner for each file without a valid group owner using command:
# chgrp <a-valid-group> /tmp/a-file-without-a-valid-group-owner
