AIX7-00-001036 - UIDs reserved for system accounts must not be assigned to non-system accounts on AIX systems.
Information
Reserved UIDs are typically used by system software packages. If non-system accounts have UIDs in this range, they may conflict with system software, possibly leading to the user having permissions to modify system files.NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Using the "usermod" command, change the UID numbers for non-system accounts with reserved UIDs (those less or equal to 128):# usermod -u <uid> [user_name]
