Details
Check Text (C-216307r959010_chk)
Determine the programs executed by system start-up files. Determine the ownership of the executed programs.
# cat /etc/rc* /etc/init.d/* | more
Check the ownership of every program executed by the system start-up files.
# ls -l <executed program>
If any executed program is not owned by root, sys, bin, or in rare cases, an application account, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-17541r371010_fix)
Change the ownership of the file executed from system startup scripts to root, bin, or sys.
# chown root <executed file>
