Title
All run control scripts must have no extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If the startup files are writable by other users, they could modify the startup files to insert malicious commands into the startup files.
Check Content
Check that run control scripts have no extended ACLs. # ls -lLa /sbin/init.d/[a-z,A-Z,0-9]* If the permissions include a '+' the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the optional ACL from the file. # chacl -z [run control script with extended ACL]
