Description
Having lockouts persist across reboots ensures that account is unlocked only by an administrator. If the lockouts did not persist across reboots, an attacker could reboot the system to continue brute force attacks against the accounts on the system.

Who does this work

17 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-281199r1166549_chk)

Verify RHEL 10 has no unauthorized local interactive user accounts with the following command: $ less /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash ... nsauser:x:1000:1000:nsauser:/home/nsauser:/bin/bash doduser:x:1001:1001:doduser:/home/doduser:/bin/bash Interactive user accounts generally will have a user ID (UID) of 1000 or greater, a home directory in a specific partition, and an interactive shell. Obtain the list of interactive user accounts authorized to be on the system from the system administrator or information system security officer and compare it to the list of local interactive user accounts on the system. If there are unauthorized local user accounts on the system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-85665r1166548_fix)

Configure RHEL 10 to have no unauthorized local interactive user accounts with the following command, where <unauthorized_user> is the unauthorized account: $ sudo userdel <unauthorized_user>
