RHEL-10-400150 - RHEL 10 must be configured so that the Secure Shell (SSH) server configuration file is group-owned by "root".
Information
Service configuration files enable or disable features of their respective services, which if configured incorrectly can lead to insecure and vulnerable configurations. Therefore, service configuration files must be owned by the correct group to prevent unauthorized changes.Solution
Configure RHEL 10 so that the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" file and the contents of "/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d" are group-owned by "root" with the following command:$ sudo chgrp root /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d
