GEN000920 - The root account's home directory (other than /) must have mode 0700 - Not Applicable

Information

Root home directory is '/' therefore this check is Not Applicable.

Solution

If the mode of the directory is not equal to 0700, this is a finding. If the home directory is /, this is not applicable. The root home directory will have permissions of 0700. Do not change the protections of the / directory. Use the following command to change protections for the root home directory.
# chmod 0700 /root.
