GEN006180 - The smbpasswd file must be group-owned by root.

Information

If the smbpasswd file is not group-owned by root, the smbpasswd file may be maliciously accessed or modified, potentially resulting in the compromise of Samba accounts.

Solution

Use the chgrp command to ensure the group owner of the smbpasswd file is root.

# chgrp root /etc/sfw/private/smbpasswd
