DISA STIG RHEL-10-400005 (CAT II): RHEL 10 must be configured so that the "/etc/group" file is group-owned by "root".

DISA STIG recommends

RHEL-10-400005 CAT II

RHEL 10 must be configured so that the "/etc/group" file is group-owned by "root".

NIST SP 800-53: AC-3

Check

Verify RHEL 10 is configured so that the "/etc/group" file is group-owned by "root" with the following command: $ sudo stat -c "%G %n" /etc/group root /etc/group If the "/etc/group" file does not have a group owner of "root", this is a finding.

Fix

Configure RHEL 10 so that the group of the file "/etc/group" is set to "root" by running the following command: $ sudo chgrp root /etc/group
