If the smbpasswd file is not group-owned by root, the smbpasswd file may be maliciously accessed or modified, potentially resulting in the compromise of Samba accounts.
Check Content
Check smbpasswd ownership. # ls -lL /etc/sfw/private/smbpasswd If smbpasswd is not group-owned by root, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Use the chgrp command to ensure the group owner of the smbpasswd file is root. # chgrp root /etc/sfw/private/smbpasswd
