Title
The /etc/smb.conf file must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Excessive permissions could endanger the security of the Samba configuration file and, ultimately, the system and network.
Check Content
Check the group ownership of the Samba configuration file. # find / -type f -name smb.conf | xargs -n1 ls -lL 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 <path>/smb.conf
