Discussion

NIS/NIS+/yp files are part of the system's identification and authentication processes and are, therefore, critical to system security. Unauthorized modification of these files could compromise these processes and SLES for vRealize.

Check Content

Perform the following to check NIS file ownership:

# ls -la /var/yp/*

If the NIS file's mode is more permissive than "0755", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of NIS/NIS+/yp command files to "0755" or less permissive:

# chmod 0755 <filename>
