Title

RHEL 10 must assign a home directory for local interactive user accounts upon creation.

Control

Verify RHEL 10 assigns a home directory for local interactive user accounts upon creation with the following command: $ sudo grep -i create_home /etc/login.defs CREATE_HOME yes If the value for "CREATE_HOME" parameter is not set to "yes", the line is missing, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Discussion

If local interactive users are not assigned a valid home directory, there is no place for the storage and control of files they should own.
