Yes, RHEL-6's SSG rule:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/scap-security-guide.git/tree/RHEL6/inpu...
"Ensure that System Accounts Do Not Run a Shell Upon Login"
maps to RHEL5's CCE-3987-5:
http://nvd.nist.gov/scap/content/stylesheet/scap-rhel5-document.htm
(fix would be to use /sbin/nologin | /bin/false | /dev/null as user's
login shell in /etc/passwd).
Compared to that C-RHEL-6-000029_chk description:
http://www.stigviewer.com/check/RHEL-06-000029
mentions
# passwd -l [SYSACCT]
as a fix how to disable the account.
So basically these two seems to be just two different ways how to achieve
the same.
Welllllll that's interesting. How did C-RHEL-6-00029 get included in the
RHEL6 STIG without Red Hat and NSA signoff? ::: glances at FSO :::
So I propose a swap: Delete the existing "Ensure that System Accounts
Do Not Run a Shell Upon Login" rule and replace it with this new, DISA
FSO proposed, C-RHEL-6-000029.
Leland? Jeff?
