Check Text (C-281202r1166558_chk)
Verify RHEL 10 contains no duplicate GIDs for interactive users with the following command:
$ cut -d : -f 3 /etc/group | uniq -d
If the system has duplicate GIDs, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-85668r1166557_fix)
Configure RHEL 10 to contain no duplicate GIDs for interactive users.
Edit the file "/etc/group", and provide each group that has a duplicate GID with a unique GID.
