Details
Check Text (C-261348r996500_chk)
Verify all SLEM 5 local interactive users on the system are assigned a home directory upon creation with the following command:
> grep -i create_home /etc/login.defs
CREATE_HOME yes
If the "CREATE_HOME" parameter is not set to "yes", the line is commented out, or the line is missing, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-64985r995910_fix)
Configure SLEM 5 to assign home directories to all new local interactive users.
Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/login.defs" file:
CREATE_HOME yes
