As a note, both:
* - core 0
AND
* hard core 0
* soft core 0
Should pass.

All,
Most of the guidance for RHEL security has suggested setting the following
in /etc/security/limits.conf:
* hard core 0
I have generally set this to:
* - core 0
Because this sets both the hard and soft limits on the system. Most SCAP
scanners are looking for very specific values there. I'm looking at
modifying the checks to pass either 'hard' or '-' for the value.
I'd also to fix the maxlogins in the rule (*max_concurrent_login_sessions*)
in /etc/security/limits.conf to look for the DOD default (10) and lower to
satisfy the check. Security standards are there as a baseline, why 'fail'
the setting for exceeding the baseline value?

Frank Caviggia
