AIX7-00-002147 - The AIX /var/spool/cron/atjobs directory must be owned by root or bin.
Information
Unauthorized ownership of the /var/spool/cron/atjobs directory could permit unauthorized users the ability to alter atjobs and run automated jobs as privileged users. Failure to set proper permissions of the /var/spool/cron/atjobs directory provides unauthorized users with the potential to access sensitive information or change the system configuration which could weaken the system's security posture.Solution
Change the ownership of the "atjobs" directory to bin using command:# chown bin /var/spool/cron/atjobs
