As a rule, accounts on a web server are to be kept to a minimum. Only administrators, web managers, developers, auditors, and web authors require accounts on the machine hosting the web server. The resources to which these accounts have access must also be closely monitored and controlled.

Solution

At the command prompt, run the following commands:

# chmod o-w <file>
# chown root:root <file>

Note: Substitute <file> with the listed file.
