Ensure no users have .netrc files
Описание
The .netrc file contains data for logging into a remote host for file transfers via FTP. The .netrc file presents a significant security risk since it stores passwords in unencrypted form. Even if FTP is disabled, user accounts may have brought over .netrc files from other systems which could pose a risk to those systems.

Метод исправления: Рекомендация или патч инфраструктуры
Making global modifications to users' files without alerting the user community can result in unexpected outages and unhappy users. Therefore, it is recommended that a monitoring policy be established to report user .netrc files and determine the action to be taken in accordance with site policy.
