Ensure permissions on /etc/passwd are configured

MediaNivel 1Automatizadafreebsd

Descripción

The /etc/passwd file contains user account information used by many system utilities, which must be readable for these utilities to operate. It is critical to ensure that the /etc/passwd file is protected from unauthorized write access. Although it is protected by default, the file permissions could be changed inadvertently or through malicious actions. Audit: compares `ls -ld` mode (this mode or more restrictive), owner and group with the CIS values.

Salida esperada: compliant
