SLEM-05-411025 - All SLEM 5 local interactive users must have a home directory assigned in the /etc/passwd file.

Information

If local interactive users are not assigned a valid home directory, there is no place for the storage and control of files they should own.

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

Solution

Assign home directories to all SLEM 5 local interactive users that currently do not have a home directory assigned.

Assign a home directory to users via the usermod command:

> sudo usermod -d /home/dosuser dosuser
