Check Text (C-256911r961683_chk)
As a system administrator for each Automation Controller host inspect the status of the DNF Automatic timer:
systemctl status dnf-automatic.timer
If "Active: active" is not included in the output, this is a finding.
Inspect the configuration of DNF Automatic:
grep apply_updates /etc/dnf/automatic.conf
If "apply_updates = yes" is not displayed, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-60528r902302_fix)
Install and enable DNF Automatic:
dnf install dnf-automatic
(run the install)
systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer
Modify /etc/dnf/automatic.conf and set "apply_updates = yes".
