Check: PHTN-67-000080
VMware vSphere 6.7 Photon OS STIG:
PHTN-67-000080
(in versions v1 r6 through v1 r1)
Title
The Photon operating system must create a home directory for all new local interactive user accounts. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If local interactive users are not assigned a valid home directory, there is no place for the storage and control of files they should own.
Check Content
At the command line, execute the following command: # grep -i "^create_home" /etc/login.defs If there is no output or the output does not equal "CREATE_HOME yes", this is a finding.
Fix Text
Open /etc/login.defs with a text editor. Ensure that the following is present and any existing CREATE_HOME line is removed: CREATE_HOME yes
