1.5 OL09-00-000005

Information

OL 9 must use a separate file system for /var.

GROUP ID: V-271435
RULE ID: SV-271435r1091017

Ensuring that "/var" is mounted on its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options. This helps protect system services such as daemons or other programs which use it. It is not uncommon for the "/var" directory to contain world-writable directories installed by other software packages.

Solution

Migrate the "/var" path onto a separate file system.
