Information

GROUP ID: V-216423
RULE ID: SV-216423r959010

All users must be assigned a home directory in the passwd file. Failure to have a home directory may result in the user being put in the root directory.

Solution

The root role is required.

Correct or justify any items discovered in the check step. Determine if there exists any users who are in passwd but do not have a home directory, and work with those users to determine the best course of action in accordance with site policy. This generally means deleting the user or creating a valid home directory.
