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>
