Check Text (C-261291r996352_chk)
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 logon information.
Verify the assigned home directory of all SLEM 5 local interactive users has a mode of "750" or less permissive with the following command:
> ls -ld $(awk -F: '($3>=1000)&&($7 !~ /nologin/){print $6}' /etc/passwd)
-rwxr-x--- 1 smithj users 18 Mar 5 17:6 /home/smithj
If home directories referenced in "/etc/passwd" do not have a mode of "750" or less permissive, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-64928r995739_fix)
Change the mode of SLEM 5 local interactive user's home directories to "750". To change the mode of a local interactive user's home directory, use the following command:
Note: The example will be for the user "smithj".
> sudo chmod 750 /home/smithj
