Check Text (C-281065r1165550_chk)

Verify RHEL 10 is configured so that the assigned home directory of all local interactive users has a mode of "0750" or less permissive with the following command: Note: This may miss interactive users that have been assigned a privileged user identifier (UID). Evidence of interactive use may be obtained from a number of log files containing system login information. $ stat -L -c '%a %n' $(awk -F: '($3>=1000)&&($7 !~ /nologin/){print $6}' /etc/passwd) 2>/dev/null 700 /home/disauser If home directories referenced in "/etc/passwd" do not have a mode of "0750" or less permissive, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-85531r1165549_fix)

Configure RHEL 10 so that the mode of interactive user's home directories is set to "0750". To change the mode of a local interactive user's home directory, use the following command: Note: The example will be for the user "disauser". $ sudo chmod 0750 /home/disauser
