Ensure all local user accounts have valid stanzas in /etc/security/passwd

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséeaix

Description

AIX uses two files to store information about local user accounts, the traditional /etc/passwd and also /etc/security/passwd. This latter file stores hashed passwords and metadata about the user account such as the last password change and whether the account is permitted to login. If an account exists that does not have a valid stanza in /etc/security/passwd then it is possible that under certain combinations of circumstances this is equivalent to that account having a blank password and thus multiple users may access the account ... Audit: automated read-only check derived from the CIS audit procedure; it prints "compliant" when the control is met.
