Vulnerability discussion

Check content

The root role is required. Check that permissions on user .netrc files are 750 or less permissive. # for dir in \ `logins -ox | awk -F: '($8 == "PS") { print $6 }'`; do find ${dir}/.netrc -type f $ \ -perm -g+r -o -perm -g+w -o -perm -g+x -o \ -perm -o+r -o -perm -o+w -o -perm -o+x $ \ -ls 2>/dev/null done If output is produced, this is a finding.

Fix text

The root role is required. Change the permissions on users' .netrc files to 750 or less permissive. # chmod 750 [file name]

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
