OL07-00-020660 - The Oracle Linux operating system must be configured so that all files and directories contained in local interactive user home directories have a valid owner.
Information
Unowned files and directories may be unintentionally inherited if a user is assigned the same User Identifier 'UID' as the UID of the un-owned files.Solution
Either remove all files and directories from the system that do not have a valid user, or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on OL 7 with the 'chown' command:Note: The example will be for the user smithj, who has a home directory of '/home/smithj'.
$ sudo chown smithj /home/smithj/<file or directory>
