Check Text (C-261292r996354_chk)
Verify that all SLEM 5 local initialization files have a mode of "740" or less permissive with the following command:
Note: The example will be for the user "smithj", who has a home directory of "/home/smithj".
> sudo ls -al /home/smithj/.* | more
-rw-r-x---- 1 smithj users 896 Mar 10 2011 .profile
-rw-r-x---- 1 smithj users 497 Jan 6 27 .login
-rw-r-x---- 1 smithj users 886 Jan 6 27 .something
If any local initialization files have a mode more permissive than "740", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-64929r995742_fix)
Set the mode of SLEM 5 local initialization files to "740" with the following command:
Note: The example will be for the smithj user, who has a home directory of "/home/smithj".
> sudo chmod 740 /home/smithj/.<INIT_FILE>
