View Next Audit VersionInformation
Root, sys, and bin are the most privileged group accounts, by default, for most UNIX systems. If a file as sensitive as /etc/securetty is not group-owned by a privileged group, it could lead to system compromise.Solution
Change the group-owner of the /etc/securetty to root, bin, or sys.Example:
# chgrp root /etc/securetty
