AIX7-00-001047 - The AIX /etc/passwd, /etc/security/passwd, and/or /etc/group files must not contain a plus (+) without defining entries for NIS+ netgroups or LDAP netgroups.

Information

A plus (+) in system accounts files causes the system to lookup the specified entry using NIS. If the system is not using NIS, no such entries should exist.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Edit "/etc/passwd", "/etc/security/passwd", and/or "/etc/group" files and remove entries containing a plus (+).
