Local initialization files for interactive users are used to configure the user's shell environment upon logon. Malicious modification of these files could compromise accounts upon logon.
Verify the local initialization files of all local interactive users are group-owned by that user's primary Group Identifier (GID). Check the home directory assignment for all non-privileged users on the system with the following command: Note: The example will be for the smithj user, who has a home directory of "/home/smithj" and a primary group of "users". # cut -d: -f 1,4,6 /etc/passwd | egrep ":[1-4][0-9]{3}" smithj:1000:/home/smithj # grep 1000 /etc/group users:x:1000:smithj,jonesj,jacksons 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. Check the group owner of all local interactive user's initialization files with the following command: # ls -al /home/smithj/.* -rwxr-xr-x 1 smithj users 896 Mar 10 2011 .profile -rwxr-xr-x 1 smithj users 497 Jan 6 2007 .login -rwxr-xr-x 1 smithj users 886 Jan 6 2007 .something If all local interactive user's initialization files are not group-owned by that user's primary GID, this is a finding.
Change the group owner of a local interactive user's files to the group found in "/etc/passwd" for the user. To change the group owner of a local interactive user's home directory, use the following command:
Note: The example will be for the user smithj, who has a home directory of "/home/smithj", and has a primary group of users.
# chgrp users /home/smithj/
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.
