ALMA-09-011790 - AlmaLinux OS 9 cron configuration files directory must be group-owned by root.

Information

Service configuration files enable or disable features of their respective services that if configured incorrectly can lead to insecure and vulnerable configurations; therefore, service configuration files must be owned by the correct group to prevent unauthorized changes.

Solution

Configure any cron configuration not group-owned by root with the following command:

$ chgrp root [cron config file]
