Title
The services file must be group-owned by root, bin, or sys. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Failure to give ownership of system configuration files to root or a system group provides the designated owner and unauthorized users with the potential to change the system configuration which could weaken the system's security posture.
Check Content
Check the group ownership of the services file. Procedure: # ls -lL /etc/services If the file is not group-owned by root, bin, or sys, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Change the group-owner of the services file. Procedure: # chgrp root /etc/services
