RHEL 10 must not default to the graphical display manager unless approved.
NIST SP 800-53: CM-7
Check
Verify RHEL 10 is configured to boot to the command line with the following command: $ systemctl get-default multi-user.target If the system default target is not set to "multi-user.target", and the information system security officer lacks a documented requirement for a graphical user interface, this is a finding.
Fix
Configure RHEL 10 to boot to the command line by setting the default target to "multi-user" with the following command: $ sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
