Check Text (C-253099r991589_chk)

Verify all local files and directories on TOSS have a valid group with the following command: Note: The value after -fstype must be replaced with the filesystem type. XFS is used as an example. $ sudo find / -fstype xfs -nogroup If any files on the system do not have an assigned group, this is a finding. Note: Command may produce error messages from the /proc and /sys directories.

Fix Text (F-56502r824968_fix)

Either remove all files and directories from TOSS that do not have a valid group, or assign a valid group to all files and directories on the system with the "chgrp" command: $ sudo chgrp <group> <file>
