Details
Check Text (C-248646r991589_chk)
Verify all files and directories on OL 8 have a valid owner with the following command:
$ sudo find / -nouser
If any files on the system do not have an assigned owner, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-52034r779503_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 OL 8 with the "chown" command:
$ sudo chown <user> <file>
