Check: GEN001800
Solaris 10 X86 STIG:
GEN001800
(in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)
Title
All skeleton files (typically those in /etc/skel) must have mode 0644 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If the skeleton files are not protected, unauthorized personnel could change user startup parameters and possibly jeopardize user files.
Check Content
Check skeleton files permissions. # ls -alL /etc/skel If a skeleton file has a mode more permissive than 0644, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Change the mode of skeleton files with incorrect mode. # chmod 0644 <skeleton file>
