NIS/NIS+/yp files are part of the system's identification and authentication processes and are critical to system security. ACLs on these files could result in unauthorized modification, which could compromise these processes and the system.
Verify NIS/NIS+/yp files have no extended ACLs. # ls -lL /var/yp/* If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding.
Remove the extended ACL from the file. # setfacl --remove-all /var/yp/*
