Title
The /etc/access.conf file must have a privileged group owner. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Depending on the access restrictions of the /etc/access.conf file, if the group owner were not a privileged group, it could endanger system security.
Check Content
Check access configuration group ownership: # ls -lL /etc/security/access.conf If this file exists and has a group-owner that is not a privileged user, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Use the chgrp command to ensure the group owner is root, sys, or bin. For example: # chgrp root /etc/security/access.conf
