Check: GEN003620

Solaris 9 X86 STIG: GEN003620 (in version v1 r9)

Title

A separate file system must be used for user home directories (such as /home or equivalent). (Cat III impact)

Discussion

The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.

Check Content

Determine if the /export/home path is a separate file system. # grep /export/home /etc/vfstab If no result is returned, /export/home is not on a separate file system and this is a finding. If ZFS is used for home directories, this is not applicable.

Fix Text

Migrate the /export/home path onto a separate file system.
