TMA-SOLARIS-9.4
Verify System Account Default Passwords
CriticalLevel 1Automatedsolaris
Description
There are a number of accounts provided with the Solaris OS that are used to manage applications and are not intended to provide an interactive shell. These accounts are delivered either in a locked or non-login state. Oracle does not support nor recommend changing the passwords associated with these accounts. Audit: automated read-only check derived from the CIS audit procedure; it prints "compliant" when the control is met.
How it is checked
Audit method: Shell command
shell
command -v logins >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1; command -v passwd >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1; out=$( { for user in $(logins -s | awk '{ print $1 }'); do [ "$user" = root ] && continue; stat=$(passwd -s "$user" | awk '{ print $2 }'); if [ "$stat" != LK ] && [ "$stat" != NL ]; then echo "Account $user is not locked or non-login."; fi; done ; } 2>/dev/null ); [ -z "$out" ] && echo compliant || printf '%s\n' "$out" | head -n 20- Expected output
compliant
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Lock each listed system account with passwd -l <username>, or make it non-login with passwd -N <username>.
