SV-27016r2_rule The /etc/zones directory, and its contents, must be owned by root.

Vulnerability discussion

Solaris zones configuration files must be protected against illicit creation, modification, and deletion.

Check content

Check the ownership of the files and directories. # ls -lLdR /etc/zones If the owner of the file is not root, this is a finding. If zones are not installed on the system, this is not a finding.

Fix text

Change the ownership of the files and directories. # chown -R root /etc/zones

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.
