Check: GEN001360

Solaris 10 X86 STIG: GEN001360 (in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)

Title

The NIS/NIS+/yp command files must have mode 0755 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

NIS/NIS+/yp files are part of the system's identification and authentication processes and are, therefore, critical to system security. Unauthorized modification of these files could compromise these processes and the system.

Check Content

Perform the following to check NIS file mode. # ls -lRa /usr/lib/netsvc/yp /var/yp If the file's mode is more permissive than 0755, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of NIS/NIS+/yp command files to 0755 or less permissive. Procedure: # chmod -R 0755 /usr/lib/netsvc/yp /var/yp
